California Dairy Quality Assurance Program

The California Dairy Quality Assurance Program (CDQAP) is a voluntary partnership between dairy producers, government agencies and academia to promote the health of consumers, the health of the environment and the health and welfare of dairy animals.

We provide educational workshops and assistance focusing on the components of public health (farm security and food safety), animal care and environmental stewardship. The CDQAP also provides third-party certification in Environmental Stewardship through its on-farm evaluation/certification program.
