The American Dairy Association Mideast (ADA Mideast) is the Ohio and West Virginia affiliate of the National Dairy Council (NDC), a leader in dairy nutrition research, education and communication since 1915.

On behalf of dairy farmers, ADA Mideast provides timely, science-based nutrition information to, and in collaboration with, a variety of stakeholders committed to fostering a healthier society, including educators, school nutrition directors, health professionals, academia, industry, consumers and media.

Our staff is comprised of registered dietitians, school wellness specialists and communications experts dedicated to educating the public about dairy foods' important role in a healthy lifestyle. We disseminate nutrition information and materials to support government recommendations for improved nutrition for Americans, including consumption of at least three servings of nutrient-rich low fat or fat-free milk and milk products every day.

Dairy farm families are committed to improving America's future. In response to our nation's obesity crisis among children, ADA Mideast is empowering students to improve nutrition and physical activity at their school and for their own health through Fuel Up To Play 60, a program launched in partnership with NDC and NFL. Fuel Up to Play 60 encourages students to work with their school leaders to create more opportunities for kids to "fuel up" with nutrient-rich foods like low fat and fat-free dairy foods, fruit, whole grains and vegetables, and to "get up and play" for at least 60 minutes every day.
