Dairy Asia is a multi-stakeholder partnership of willing partners committed to visioning and building a sustainable dairy sector in Asia and the Pacific region. The partnership is voluntary and functions on the principles of consensus and mutual respect.
A socially and environmentally responsible Asian dairy sector that enhances rural livelihoods, improves nutrition, and contributes to economic prosperity.
Consider the rapid growth in the demand for milk and milk products as an opportunity to make substantial contribution to the national and regional food security, nutrition, rural development and to the empowerment of women in Asia.
Appreciate that while capitalizing on this opportunity, we need to conscious about growing pressure on natural resources (land, water and biodiversity), climate change and the need for more equitable national and regional development.
Stress that the notion of sustainability must be considered in its full complexity encompassing all its pillars- economic, social and ecological.
Recognize that meeting the future challenges requires integrated efforts and collaboration by a wide range of stakeholders as to capitalize on the strength and diversity of dairy production systems in the region and to minimize the potential negative impacts of rapid growth in demand and supply of dairy products.
