About
Since 1915, National Dairy Council (NDC) has been a non-profit organization founded by dairy farmers and funded through the national dairy checkoff program. NDC continues to be committed to nutrition research and education about dairy’s role in healthy eating patterns in support of health and wellness, while bringing to life the dairy community’s shared vision of a healthy, happy, sustainable world. With 100 years of experience, NDC comprises a staff of registered dietitians and experts in nutrition and environmental research, product development, food safety and communications. NDC provides science-based dairy nutrition information to, and in collaboration with, a variety of stakeholders committed to fostering a healthier nation, including academia, research, industry, health professionals, educators and school nutrition directors. As a checkoff organization, NDC does not and cannot attempt to influence policy.
