Elevating the Victorian dairy industry
Elevate Dairy is a program to attract and integrate innovative solutions from around the world into the dairy industry in Victoria, Australia. It connects two key groups: global innovators, and Victorian dairy farmers who are continuously looking at improving their operation.
Elevate Dairy provides the infrastructure to the Victorian dairy industry for the introduction and adoption of new technologies. And it supports global innovators to access this attractive market more easily.
Gardiner Foundation has invested in Elevate Dairy to ensure Victorian dairy farmers have access to practical, proven tools that lift productivity and support better on-farm decision-making. The program accelerates the adoption of practices that improve business performance today while positioning farmers to manage future challenges and opportunities with greater confidence.
Through Elevate Dairy, Gardiner aims to build whole-of-farm capability, strengthen the resilience of dairy businesses and support a more competitive and adaptable industry. The program is designed to create measurable improvements on farm and foster a culture of continuous improvement across Victoria’s dairy regions.
