DBI Initiatives
10.176
The Dairy Business Innovation (DBI) Initiatives connects the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) with eligible entities to host DBI Initiatives to manage the program by supporting dairy businesses in the development, production, marketing, and distribution of dairy products. These initiatives specifically focus on: (1) Diversifying dairy product markets to reduce risk and develop higher-value uses for dairy products; (2) Promoting business development that diversifies farmer income through processing and marketing innovation; and (3) Encouraging the use of regional milk production.

The four DBI initiatives have provided 600 subawards totaling over $64 million across 40 states. AMS works with the initiative to gather grant program performance report data as well as subaward data, including, accomplishments, impacts, and success stories. Recently, AMS conducted listening sessions with the initiatives to standardize the collection of data that aligns with what the initiatives are collecting from their subawards.
