The global human population is growing, and we need to produce more food in the coming decades. Animal protein is an important part of the human diet. Producing high quality animal protein such as dairy products need be done in a sustainable and efficient way. To do this, both farmers and industry partners in the food chain require a solution to measure sustainability metrics, improve their supplier (farmer) productivity while at the same time increase production.
