CDQAP Receives California's Highest Environmental Award

The California Dairy Quality Assurance (CDQA) Program is a voluntary partnership between dairy producers, government agencies and academia to address the issues impacting agriculture.

The CDQA Program was created to assist dairy producers like you with navigating and complying with the rules and regulations governing the industry.

Focusing on the components of public health (food safety), animal health & welfare and environmental stewardship, the CDQA program provides education, resources and funding for dairy producers to become certified in one or all areas.
