Pattern of World Dairy Science Education

Department of Dairy and Food Science, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York

ABSTRACT

Any educational activity is of great importance to the welfare of the human race, and that of dairy science education is no exception. Man trains his progeny for the medical advances of tomorrow, for the engineering feats designed to bring him closer to the stars and planets, and for scientific thrusts into the mysteries of the atom. All these efforts eventually lead to easing the work burden of man, to making his activities more interesting, and to providing him with a healthier life. Education for dairy science and technology has the same aims when objectively analyzed. In special circumstances, knowledge required for the production and processing of milk and milk products may indeed be more vital and pressing than many other forms of knowledge because upon it may depend survival from hunger.

It, therefore, came somewhat as a shock to me and my colleagues at the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) to learn earlier that so little published knowledge existed on the subject of world dairy science education.
