Bergman, PhD, RDN, CD, FADA President, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics For the second consecutive year, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics had the honor today of co-hosting the Washington Post’s “Future of Food” forum in Washington, D.C. We co-hosted this inspiring and important event with the National Dairy Council and I had the pleasure of making opening remarks at the conference. Discussions ranged from technological innovations to make food more affordable and nutritious, to private-public partnerships that are leading the sustainable food movement in our country. Achieving food security is vital to improving the health of our nation. It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that access to food is a basic and fundamental human right; the Academy and our 75,000 members in the U.S. and abroad are working diligently to help people be food-secure. One in five children and one in 12 older adults are at risk for hunger in the U.S. That is why, every day, registered dietitian nutritionists and dietetic technicians help individuals and families to make informed choices about accessing nourishing food and develop practical strategies to feed their families adequately.]]> http://dairygood.org/dairy-farmers-remain-committed-to-feeding-growing-population/ Wed, 22 May 2013 13:43:56 +0000 admin http://dairygood.org/?p=2582 http://dairygood.org/100000-future-of-food-grant-partnership-to-help-fight-nations-hunger-issues/ Wed, 22 May 2013 12:50:04 +0000 admin http://dairygood.org/?p=2573 Future of Food Partnership: $100,000 grant program designed to support nutrition education and increase access to dairy and other nutrient-rich foods.]]> http://dairygood.org/fuel-up-to-play-60-got-milk-award-250000-in-grants-for-school-breakfast-programs/ Fri, 17 May 2013 14:44:21 +0000 admin http://dairygood.org/?p=2549 http://dairygood.org/technology-tools-help-change-the-face-of-dairy-farming/ Wed, 15 May 2013 15:37:24 +0000 admin http://dairygood.org/?p=2541 By Brian Medeiros Medeiros & Son Dairy As I sit here in my GPS-guided, electronically-controlled tractor on a Saturday morning, I cannot help but think about how far agriculture and dairy farming has come in the last 20 years. I remember when I was kid going out in the mornings to feed the calves, and coming home after school excited to help Dad finish up his chores. It was all manual labor and it was all part of an honest day’s work. Records were kept on paper by hand, and cows were fed with pitch forks and buckets. Field work was done by sight, and irrigation borders were determined by taking paces through the rows of growing feed.]]> http://dairygood.org/water-more-than-just-a-refreshing-drink-for-dairy-cows/ Tue, 14 May 2013 15:03:10 +0000 admin http://dairygood.org/?p=2495 http://dairygood.org/fruits-veggies-and-dairy-simple-ways-to-build-a-healthier-plate/ Fri, 10 May 2013 16:27:43 +0000 admin http://dairygood.org/?p=2525 http://dairygood.org/from-our-mom-to-yours-lessons-from-one-of-lifes-greatest-teachers/ Fri, 10 May 2013 15:49:16 +0000 admin http://dairygood.org/?p=2519
