The Milk Gap

wfp13-simmonsElanco president Jeff Simmons received the 2013 Borlaug CAST Communication Award this year at the World Food Prize and used the opportunity to talk about the difference two glasses of milk can make.

Simmons says milk “one of the greatest food gaps we currently have” since there is currently 14% less milk per person globally than there was in 1961, despite the fact that dairy productivity has doubled. “What we have globally per person is (one glass) eight ounces,” he said. “What is recommended is two glasses.”

Watch his presentation in the video where he explains the need for two glasses per person and how we can get there to #Feedthe9. Find out more at SensibleTable.com.
