“We are delighted to expand our partnership with Dairy Australia to focus on initiatives aimed at driving innovation within the dairy industry, connecting DairyAustralia with a global network of AgriTech startups and facilitating transformative solutions across the entire dairy supply chain” -John Hartnett, Founder & CEO SVG Ventures|THRIVE.
The Dairy industry globally is focused on a range of sustainability and productivity objectives, such as reducing the impact of enteric methane, and implementing technology-driven practice changes across the supply chain to enable a more profitable dairy industry.
To achieve these outcomes Dairy Australia recognized the need to take a global perspective in sourcing technology solutions that can be trailed in collaboration with Australian dairy farmers. The new partnership with SVG|THRIVE will achieve this by integrating Dairy Australia into the global THRIVE eco-system, connecting with a pipeline of AgriTech start-ups and engaging with the dairy industry on farm and throughout the supply chain.
Dairy Australia joins a growing list of Dairy industry organizations who have already partnered with SVG|THRIVE, including Land O Lakes, United Farmers of Alberta Co-operative, Ornua and Kerrygold. This collective of partners provides an excellent opportunity for global collaboration and knowledge sharing, to support innovation and dairy farmers.
