New Research Paper on Dairy’s Impact on Reducing Global Hunger is Published

In conjunction with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the UN Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock and the IFCN Dairy Network, Global Dairy Platform (GDP) has published the second research paper in a series on how dairy can help with socio-economic challenges articulated in the UN Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  The paper, “Dairy’s Impact on Reducing Global Hunger,” demonstrates the role dairying plays in tackling SDG2 – Zero Hunger by providing quantitative evidence of how dairy reduces the adverse consequences of malnutrition such as stunting and wasting.

The first research paper in the series, “Dairy Development’s Impact on Poverty Reduction,” examines how dairy can lift rural families and communities out of poverty, SDG1 – No Poverty.  GDP has already started working on a third paper in the series, which investigates the linkage between dairy and the empowerment of socially disadvantaged groups, including women and youth, SDG10-Reduced Inequalities. That paper is expected to be published in 2021.
