CAPABILITY BUILDING
The Foundation is committed to building the capability of the dairy industry to provide the capacity and resources the industry needs to succeed in an often volatile and rapidly changing environment.
The Foundation defines “capability” as the
power to achieve desired outcomes and having the capacity to do so.
By investing in capability in underpinning science, technology or
services the Foundation creates a highly capable, agile and
responsive infrastructure that provides relevant and timely support
to the Victorian dairy industry on priority issues for the public
good.
