We are excited to announce the center’s third round of funding through the USDA Dairy Business Innovation Initiatives (DBII) program. This $6,133,333 award allows the NE-DBIC to keep investing in catalytic projects that advance community- and climate-forward dairy production across the region and right here in Vermont.
Farmers and processors will continue to directly benefit from NE-DBIC funded technical and business assistance, education, access to resources, and grants that build on research and innovation already underway. Ready to take your dairy business to the next level? Stay tuned for a multitude of grants coming in 2022, focusing on marketing and branding, grazing and alternative management systems, agritourism, farm and processor innovation, and sustainable packaging innovation.
