Milk International Conference

Milk as a Vector for Development, 5th Edition

We are delighted to announce the fifth edition of the ‘Milk as a Vector for Development’ conference. Following on from Rennes, Rabat, Dakar and Tunis (https://www6.inrae.fr/lait-vecteur-developpement), this fifth edition will once again take place in Senegal, in Saly, from 12 to 14 May 2026. This edition is being organised jointly by ISRA, CIRAD and INRAE.

The STLO is co-organising the 5th International Conference on ‘Milk, a Vector for Development’, which will take place in Saly, Senegal, from 12 to 14 May 2026. Based on the observation that milk is a powerful lever for development, particularly in southern countries, the international conference ‘Milk, a Vector for Development’ (LVD) was launched in 2014 in Rennes (France) as a joint initiative of INRAE (UMR STLO) and CIRAD (UMR SELMET). In an international context of multiple crises, this 5th edition will address the challenges and sustainable and inclusive solutions for the dairy sector in four sessions: West Africa, dairy markets, climate and milk diversity.
