THE HISTORY of Milling 4 Life CIO UK

OUR HISTORY SO FAR

Milling 4 Life CIO charity was set up in the UK and registered with the UK Charities Commission on April 24, 2017. The concept of the charity was developed by the milling industry’s oldest, still in-print monthly magazine, ‘Milling and Grain’. The publisher and those supporting the magazine believe that by coordinating industry activity, millers and companies supplying the milling sectors can make a unique and valuable contribution to the way countries and communities provide nutritious, safe and affordable food through milled products such as flour, rice and livestock feed throughout the 21st Century.

NOW MILLERS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

While there are significant global organisations well-equipped to address the food needs of a growing world population, the industries that mill and process grains and cereals to provide food for human consumption, and rations for livestock, want to play their part in meeting the expected demand for proteins in particular but also in quality foodstuffs that require skilled milling operations.

Our industry has the technology and the knowledge to assist in the transformation of food production where it is needed most from properly harvested, transported and stored grains and cereals, to efficiently process then so as to minimise contaminants and provide valuable and affordable food products – be that in the form of cereal products or animal protein – that people everywhere desire to consume.

The Milling 4 Life CIO UK Charity is particularly keen to help this development in transitional countries by encouraging and supporting education and training in grain storage and the milling processes and in identifying how more modern technologies could be play their part in achieving the CIO’s ‘Objective’.
