About

Digital tools, including data analysis and prediction tools, are increasingly applied across the food industry to drive innovation and continuous improvement in areas ranging from product development to process optimization and food safety and sustainability. The US dairy industry currently lacks a unified platform to drive the development and implementation of digital tools and risks a further innovation deficit unless efforts are implemented to drive digital innovation in the dairy industry. Digital innovation needs are substantial and range from the development and validation of appropriate models to digital dairy workforce training and development of a digital innovation ecosystem.  While this area requires substantial investments, smaller focused projects are needed and have the potential to serve as nucleation points for larger initiatives and investments. In this platform, we provide access to existing digital tools for various dairy products.
