Each year, we publish the IDF Annual Report to showcase the significant progress our organisation and global network of members have achieved in advancing our mission. The report also provides a transparent overview of IDF’s financial position.

IDF continues to strengthen its engagement with key stakeholders across the dairy value chain, reinforcing its role as the global voice of the sector. Strategic partnerships with influential bodies such as Codex Alimentarius, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other intergovernmental agencies remain central to our work and continue to grow in impact. Collaboration with colleagues in the wider livestock sector is equally dynamic, including active participation in initiatives led by FAO, the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL) and the Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance Partnership (LEAP).

In addition, the Annual Report offers a comprehensive view of IDF’s organisational structure, membership, and governance, ensuring transparency and accountability to our stakeholders.

Over the past 12 months, we have continued to prioritise and support the dairy sector on vital work to:

Ensure dairy is recognised as an essential component in sustainable food systems and healthy diets, and how milk and dairy foods are delivering on the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Play a central role in developing and collaborating on global standards that build greater confidence, consistency and transparency within the dairy sector and beyond
Contribute to vital standard setting and scientific advice to Intergovernmental organizations
Respond to the sector’s call for expertise on a range of sectoral issues, including antimicrobial resistance, sustainable agriculture and nutrition and animal welfare
Ensuring that IDF’s programme of work remains relevant to the evolving market realities and needs of the dairy sector, balancing scientific integrity and industry applicability
Remaining alert to developments globally that may affect the dairy sector and equipping our members with the information they need to respond.
