Dairysafe continues to build from the outcomes from the first three years of its 2021-2024 Strategic Directions as the dairy landscape continues to evolve.
“Our mission remains to lead the South Australian dairy community to embrace a food safety culture, which is critical to your brand and to South Australia’s reputation as a producer of premium dairy products,” said Geoff Raven, CEO of Dairysafe.
“Our focus is to keep consumers safe by leading, connecting, inspiring and building confidence within the dairy industry. Efforts are concentrated on creating a more knowledgeable and interconnected industry through technology, data, engagement, innovation, fit-for-purpose and risk-based regulation, building relationships, and thoughtful leadership.
