Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) has announced new partnerships with Tree Canada, Cleanfarms, and Ducks Unlimited Canada.

“DFC and our farmers are committed to finding innovative new ways to foster sustainability in dairy farming,” says Pierre Lampron, president of DFC. “We are excited to work with these exceptional organizations to improve farming productivity, reduce waste, plant trees and manage resources responsibly, to the benefit of all Canadians.”

Dairy farmers are naturally committed to sustainability and the environment and our farmers take great pride in producing milk under some of the most stringent standards in the world, says DFC.

These partnerships and the industry’s efforts to reduce the environmental impact of dairy farming will be highlighted in a new marketing campaign, Here for Tomorrow. The campaign will share stories of projects underway on Canadian farms, and shed light on the sector’s work towards a more sustainable tomorrow. DFC’s commitment to sustainability is also featured in a separate campaign called Hey Dairy Farmer, which will launch in parallel, the organization says.

“Driving ongoing improvements and optimizations is part of our unwavering commitment to Canadians,” added Lampron. “We are thrilled to work with Tree Canada, Cleanfarms and Ducks Unlimited Canada, which all share a common interest in preserving our resources for the next generation.”
