Welcome
Welcome to the National Dairy Council's website. We aim to be the information resource of choice for consumers, school children, health professionals and those working in the dairy and broader food industry. We are committed to sharing our knowledge of milk and dairy products with you and to providing you with the most up-to-date science-based information on the benefits of dairy products in a balanced diet. We also want you to get a sense of the spirit and scope of the industry – Ireland has some of the richest pasturelands in the world and our dairying culture combines age-old traditions with vibrant R&D-led business structures.
Here, you'll find profiles and case studies of the people who dedicate themselves to excellence throughout the industry; fun activities that encourage children to make healthy choices in food; health information; news; recipes; competitions; and links with our partners across the dairy industry.
The National Dairy Council provides a vital link between dairy producers and consumers and, as part of our strategy to service both, we regularly commission independent research on consumer perceptions of milk and dairy products and assemble leading edge, science-based information on the issues of personal nutrition and the well-being of our society. This website will be a source of valuable information for all those interested in making good food choices. Whatever your perspective, whatever your role, we want this site to be relevant to your needs and we welcome your feedback and suggestions on how we can improve it and make it more relevant to you.
