The Dairy Business Innovation (DBI) Initiatives support dairy businesses in the development, production, marketing, and distribution of dairy products.

These initiatives, eligible entities that host this program, specifically focus on: * Diversifying dairy product markets to reduce risk and develop higher value uses for dairy products.
* Promoting business development that diversifies farmer income through processing and marketing innovation. * Encouraging the use of regional milk production. A 50 percent of the initiative’s funds should be use for subawards.
Subawards are to be focused on modernization, specialization, and grazing of dairy farms, value chain and commodity innovations, and product development, packaging, and marketing of dairy products. Approximately $11. 04 million will be available to fund DBI projects.
Eligible applicants include the four initiatives competitively selected to fulfill the purpose of the program, which include the: * California State University, Fresno * University of Tennessee * Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets * University of Wisconsin **Cost Sharing or Matching** No federal cost sharing or matching requirement.
