Looking back at 2007
Over the course of 2007, I have been pleased to deliver you the industry news that matters to your business. Part I of this IDFA special year-end report rounds up the most important trends, stories and events of the past year. Part II, which will hit your inbox on Thursday, will provide a glimpse into what's in store for 2008.
Food safety and increasing dairy costs dominated the headlines in 2007, while organics, the use of rbST, animal welfare and cloning also were key issues. The dairy industry also faced challenges stemming from booming demand for dairy products in Asia, summer floods in Europe and droughts in Australia. However, 2007 also proved to be a year of opportunity, as dairy products such as yogurt saw increased demand and major growth.
This year also brought IDFA members and others in the industry to Chicago for Worldwide Food Expo 2007, which hosted thousands of attendees from 100 countries around the globe. It was an exciting year, indeed.
And now, here's what was most important to YOU in 2007.
