The Dairy and Crop connection
Sustainable food systems for the future will need to ensure that there is a multi-sectoral development on three fronts - food, health and livelihoods. Hence our focus on dairy and crop adoption of the latest farm technologies will help to achieve on these 3 fronts. Understanding and identifying the feasible frontier technologies in the food value chain for a given geo-spatial, political, socio-economic and cultural domain is the key factor to ensure sustainable food systems for the future.
