Forum
The DMSC Forum has been running since 2003, with at least two meetings of one to two full days’ duration being held each year; mostly held in Melbourne. Topics addressed at these meetings have ranged from disposal and utilisation of waste water treatment sludge, new directions for environmental legislation, eco-efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction, cleaner production, and environmental supply chain management. [see Forum Agenda]
The Forum also allows members to be informed of the latest research and to get involved with the people doing the research. Members also have a say in the direction of future research funded by Dairy Australia*. Forum meetings are structured in a way that allows members to openly discuss topics with specialists and each other. Next meeting is currently scheduled for Melbourne in May 2011.
