Checkoff working with entrepreneurs to address dairy challenges
Dairy Management Inc. (DMI) has entered a partnership it says will provide access to a network of inventors and entrepreneurs tasked with providing marketplace solutions for industry challenges focused on health and sustainability.
DMI is partnering with Venture Winston Grants, which has designed a competition where startup companies can apply for funding that will allow them to incorporate dairy into their concepts in one of four areas: Health and nutrition (dairy products and services tailored to a person’s body type, behavior and preferences); biobased products (transforming byproducts from processing or waste into packaging, clothing or fuel); smart communities of the future (dairy powering cities where people live within 15 minutes of their job and other critical needs); and regenerative agriculture – dairy farms as an environmental solution for other industries and sectors.
