Case Studies

Case Studies

The DSF is developing a growing range of case studies that we hope will be valuable to prospective, new and existing Members, providing an outline of the process of implementing an aspect of the DSF, with key learnings and outcomes.

Implementing the DSF: four case studies are available from Dairy for Social Impact, a project funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and Global Dairy Platform (GDP).  Pilots in Kenya, Rwanda, Vietnam and India have been written up capturing the experiences of implementing the DSF to provide guidance for others.

Examples of Members’ Sustainability Programs: these case studies are for Members only and are examples of the positive work addressing one of the DSF criteria. They can be downloaded from the DSF Members area of the website.  We hope these will inspire other Members as they seek to continuously improve.
