The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) is a leading player in the formation of positive domestic and international dairy policies. IDFA's voice speaks with powerful impact on a myriad of issues and challenges facing the dairy industry. Members become part of a network of successful dairy professionals, keeping in touch with the latest industry developments and sharing ideas and business opportunities.
So, how do you access all of the information, broaden your knowledge, and become an integral part of this network of dairy professionals? Here's how:
Companies will find IDFA position papers, testimony and comments, links to government documents, and other important information. Members receive a password to access members-only documents on the website, which include current and archived information relating to regulatory compliance and guidelines, product safety, nutrition policy, sustainability, milk pricing policies, legislative policies, economic and policy analysis, international trade, crisis management, and much more.
IDFA staff is available to assist members with questions or specific areas of concern. IDFA collaborates with other trade organizations on issues of mutual interest.
IDFA promotes and defends the image of dairy products, providing factual information in countering activist attacks on dairy products. IDFA acts as a primary information source for the news media and the public on scientific, nutrition, and food safety issues. Key message points are available on a wide range of subjects to help member companies respond to media and public inquiries.
IDFA education and training programs provide the necessary information to keep current on the latest changes that affect company operations. Members receive special discounted rates on registration fees. These programs provide excellent networking events for sharing information with other dairy industry professionals, as well as with suppliers of equipment, packaging, ingredients, and other supplies and services.
IDFA has developed easy-to-use manuals, reports, and statistical publications to keep the industry up-to-date on the latest information. Publications are available, both complimentary and at discounted member prices. Each year, Affiliated Association members receive a complimentary copy of the IDFA Membership Directory.
