In conjunction with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL) and International Farm Comparison Network (IFCN), GDP developed the first in a series of research papers on how dairy can help with socio-economic challenges articulated in the UN Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The paper, “Dairy Development’s Impact on Poverty Reduction,” examines the important role dairy plays in lifting dairy families and communities out of poverty. The study provides quantitative evidence that dairy cow ownership or improvements in production can significantly contribute to SDG 1-No Poverty.
