Milk and dairy support livelihoods for 133 million dairy farmers globally. Ahead of World Milk Day 2023, the USDA-funded Georgia Safety and Quality Investment in Livestock (SQIL) project, Land O’Lakes Venture37, and the Georgian Farmers' Association are celebrating the contributions of dairy farmers around the globe.

The USDA SQIL program is improving food safety and quality along Georgia’s dairy and beef value chains. The project is partnering with the Georgian Farmers’ Association, uniting agribusiness know-how with industry leading food safety acumen and deep Georgian agribusiness connections. From farm-to-fork, this project aims to reduce losses and boost competitiveness, productivity and trade of milk and meat products.
