This year's IDF World Dairy Summit, programme embodies the theme of "The Future Begins Here”. A special emphasis will be put on the increasing efficiency of the dairy production chain focusing on the primary production issue in order to meet the future need of milk and milk products for the growing population around the world. Nevertheless, the other "traditional" topics of the IDF WDS will not be underestimated. Our goal is to stimulate the interest of diverse audiences, not only in their specific expertise, but also exposing them to different topics in the dairy industry. This will create a network of tangential issues which will enrich the existing knowledge.
This goal will be accomplished mainly by having interdisciplinary sessions, in which all participants will be encouraged to attend, as there will not be parallel sessions scheduled at the same time. Ample time will be dedicated to vibrant discussion panels, which will follow presentations of invited speakers in each session.
The programme, currently being developed, will include Poster Sessions, encouraging the participants to take an active role sharing their knowledge and ideas to develop and promote the world dairy industry for the future. In addition, a Call for Abstracts has been issued and I welcome all participants to submit their abstracts for the Summit.
As the Scientific Chairman of the IDF WDS 2014, I believe that your involvement is essential to the Summit's success and therefore, it is my honor to invite you to join us in the lovely city of Tel Aviv.
Kind regards,Prof. Zeev Trainin
Chairman of the Scientific Committee
