The Organic Trade Association’s Dairy Council is a community of diverse stakeholders across the organic dairy value chain that convenes on issues of importance to the organic dairy sector. Members meet to discuss ideas related to promotion, research, and education; to vocalize the benefits of the sector; to identify opportunities for continuous improvement and advance solutions; and to advocate for dairy policy in alignment with the Organic Trade Association’s policy process.
