The dairy sector has long been committed to enhancing farming, processing, animal health, packaging, nutrition, and uplifting people and communities through milk and dairy products. This dedication is exemplified by the fourth annual IDF Dairy Innovation Awards 2025, which aim to encourage and celebrate innovative practices across the sector. 

The IDF Dairy Innovation Awards 2025 aim to demonstrate the engagement and dynamism of the dairy sector worldwide, offering a unique platform to showcase innovative processes, practices, and products that improve efficiency and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Hosted by the International Dairy Federation and proudly sponsored by Tetra Pak – a global leader in food processing and packaging solutions – the awards highlight the sector’s commitment to continuous innovation.

The 2024 edition of the awards attracted over 150 entries from 25 countries, showcasing the dairy sector’s dedication to innovation at every level of the value chain.

IDF members can participate free of charge, while non-members may enter with paid registration. For further details and to submit your entry, please visit the IDF Dairy Innovation Awards landing page.

The awards will open for entries from 7 April to 7 June 2025. Winners will be announced on 1 September and presented on 21 October at a dedicated awards ceremony at the IDF World Dairy Summit in Santiago de Chile. This will be the first time the IDF World Dairy Summit is held in South America.
