The average person consumes about 276 pounds of dairy in a year.
However, despite its positive impact, a significant portion of the population often misunderstands dairy.
The Association of Equipment Manufacturers’ Dairy Leadership Group put together the top five benefits of modern dairy.
The first is the U.S. dairy industry produces more milk than in 1944 with 16 million fewer cows.
By way of comparison, the entire auto industry accounts for 3%.
Dairy is also more environmentally friendly, having reduced its GHG footprint by 17% and water usage by 10% in the last 15 years.
Ninety-seven percent of the 34,000 dairy farms are family-owned and operated.
Dairy is also an excellent source of 18 of the 22 essential nutrients needed for a healthy life.
