The Character, Movement, and Future of the United States Dairy Industry¹

Department of Food Science, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853

ABSTRACT

It is difficult fully to characterize an industry stretching across 5000 km of the United States. But it is possible to point out common key features and to make comparisons with other geographical areas which might catalyze critical thinking.

The three basic world problems are food, energy, and population. Our dairy industry is involved heavily with the first as a major producer and depends on the second. The first two would not be so acute if control could have been achieved over population growth, which even into the next decade will continue unchecked and show a daily, world increase of about 75,000 new people.

¹ Presented in part, at a French National Institute of Agricultural Research, Administrator's Seminar on ‘The Dairy industry of the Future,’ Britany, France, May, 1976.
