Dairy foods play an integral role in today’s interconnected food system, from the unique nutrient profile that nourishes Americans daily to the resource stewardship that dairy farmers practice. This webinar will shed light on dairy as part of the solution to nourishing our people and maintaining the planet while increasing awareness of dairy farming advancements and commitments. In addition, this webinar will test your knowledge of sustainable food systems as it relates to both planetary and public health.
