One way the consumers can show their support for dairy farmers is by continuing to enjoy and purchase the nutritious dairy products they love.
Dairy farmers want to help people understand where food comes from and the important role farmers play in helping to nourish healthy people with nutrient-rich dairy foods like milk, cheese and yogurt.

Members of the U.S. dairy industry —from the local farm to the local retailer — have long played a significant role in our nation’s food system, communities and economy by providing wholesome, nutrient-rich products that promote good health. That legacy is the foundation for the U.S. Dairy Sustainability Commitment, in which dairy farm families and companies are working together to foster innovation in environmental sustainability while continuing to provide products that are nutritious, produced responsibly and economically viable for all.
