Add a close-to-home perspective to your curricula with three new programs and activities inspired by dairy farmers.

How Dairy Cares teaches students ways in which sustainable dairy farming practices help care for the environment, cows, and consumers.

Discover Dairy Science! helps students discover the science behind dairy production and how milk’s nutritional benefits are expanded by providing the basis for cheese and yogurt.

Dairy During Your Day! spotlights dairy’s daily role as a nutritious food source while prompting critical-thinking skills about the ways that dairy farming practices can model water conservation and conscientious animal care in students’ lives.
