Abstract

This research paper debates some issues concerning a sustainable dairy industry in Kazakhstan in straight relation with environment management and innovation management. The qualitative and quantitative growth of the dairy industry, the production of milk and dairy products, increasing the profitability of production is based on the active use of the innovative component. Environmental factors and other issues as profitability decrease of production, the risks of not mastering innovations make this industry subsidized and unattractive for attracting investment. In order to assure the sustainable functioning of the dairy industry, mechanisms are needed to improve the implementation of priority areas for its innovative development, to ensure a decrease in the volume of imports of dairy products. The active use of environmentally friendly technologies that reduce the negative impact on soil and water, as well as technologies and infrastructure for the disposal of animal by-products, should become the basis for the sustainable development of the dairy industry.
