According to a recent survey by the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center, 62% of dairy producers believe they need to adapt to changing consumer preferences. This sentiment reflects a larger trend in the food industry, where transparency and sustainability are increasingly important. The event will explore these topics, encouraging participants to share their experiences and challenges.
