ABOUT THE ALLIANCE

The Dairy Education Alliance (DEA) is a national coalition of farmers, grass-roots activists, environmentalists, scientists, public interest lawyers and economists working collaboratively to tackle the environmental, social and economic problems associated with large dairy operations. The DEA was formed as a natural outgrowth of the work being done around the country by people whose communities have been devastated by the impacts from industrial-sized dairy operations.

OUR MISSION

The purpose of the Dairy Education Alliance (DEA) is the protection and improvement of the environment throughout the United States. We support family farms that operate in a socially responsible manner, promoting personal and economic health, stewardship of the land, and protection of our air and water. We oppose any farming operation that pollutes and erodes our rural communities.
