Publications
EDNews
All members and partners receive our club magazine EDNews four times a year with reports on dairy production in EDF countries written by our members. Additionally there are also reports about non-EDF countries, dairy events and projects. Our national branches report about their activities and result. EDF agribusiness partner contribute articles on topics of their respective fields.
EDF Annual Report
The EDF report is published once a year where the clubs main activities are summarized and the latest results of projects are presented. The EDF report is shared with our members and partner at the end of each year.
Email-Newsletter
We send a monthly Email-Newsletter to all our members and partners to inform them about the latest developments in the club and of our projects. We also share links to webpages with interesting information e.g. about the dairy market situation.
Further surveys and interviews
Snapshot Survey
The Snapshot Survey focuses on different topics every year: "limits to dairy production" or "work-life-balance" to name only some of the topics chosen in the past. With a few questions to our members we try to get personal insight into hot topics in order to start discussions between EDF members and partner. EDF organises the Snapshot Survey in cooperation with agri benchmark.
Interviews with members of the Scientific Team and with farmers
We regularly interview our STAR partner and also our members about specific topics. Those interviews are shared with our members and partner via EDNews or the EDF report.
Exchanges of representatives
EDF is connected with several other dairy related associations and institutions in the world. EDF sends representatives to their meetings and invites representatives from those organisations to join the annual EDF Congress.
Special projects with agribusiness partner and partner institutions
EDF carries out temporary projects with other institutions and agribusiness partner on request (e.g. the Input Price Project with the French Cniel in 2011 and 2012) as long as EDF members can benefit from it. Please contact us if you want to know more about this.
