Co-operative Dairying and Food Safety Regulations provides a comprehensive overview of two of the most critical pillars shaping India’s dairy sector: the cooperative movement and the evolving framework of food safety governance. Written with a focus on both historical foundations and contemporary challenges, the book explores how cooperative dairying has transformed rural livelihoods, empowered millions of smallholder farmers, and positioned India as the world’s largest producer of milk.
The text examines the origin and growth of dairy cooperatives, from the early roots of the Anand model and Operation Flood to the present-day successes of Amul, Nandini, Banas, and other cooperative giants. It highlights cooperative principles, governance structures, and socio-economic impacts, linking them to broader themes of rural development, gender inclusion, and farmer sustainability.
Equally significant is the section on Food Safety Regulations, which delves into the legal and scientific frameworks ensuring the quality and safety of milk and milk products. Readers are introduced to Codex Alimentarius standards, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulations, ISO 22000, HACCP systems, and international trade protocols that govern dairy exports. The book also sheds light on emerging issues such as antibiotic residues, biofilm contamination, cold chain management, and traceability in dairy supply chains.
Designed for students, researchers, dairy professionals, and policymakers, this book bridges cooperative studies with food safety science. It offers not just theoretical understanding but also case studies, policy insights, and best practices, making it an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to grasp the dynamics of cooperative dairying and the regulatory ecosystem that safeguards consumer health.
