About Global Dairy Farmers

Global Dairy Farmers is the worldwide network of leading dairy farmers and industry partners.

GDF is a platform for leading dairy farmers, with a restricted number of non-competing companies, from all over the world to meet each other for the discussion of new strategies, as a reaction to new policy measures, legislation and market developments.
