For a sustainable future, dairy farmers will need to focus more on productivity. In contrast to prices for their products, which farmers can influence very little, productivity can be actively improved.

Artificial intelligence has enabled significant productivity gains across many industries. The time has now come for the dairy industry to increase productivity using powerful AI technology. And AI can bring these benefits to herds of all sizes.
