What Is This Program?

Initiatives provide direct technical assistance and make grants to dairy businesses and are positioned to draw on existing dairy industry resources, including activities conducted by the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board and other dairy promotion entities, research capacity, academic and industry expertise, a density of dairy farms or farmland suitable for dairying, and dairy businesses. Initiatives may serve a certain product niche, such as specialty cheese, or serve dairy businesses with dairy products derived from the milk of a specific type of dairy animal, including dairy products made from cow milk, sheep milk, and goat milk. Initiatives also consult with the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board and AMS in carrying out the program and report on outcomes of the program as well as any related activities and opportunities to further increase dairy innovation to AMS.
