A team of international researchers led by Michigan State University has received a five-year, $1 million grant from USDA s Data Science for Food and Agricultural Systems program, a component of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
One of the main priorities of the DSFAS program is the formation of coordinated innovation networks that solve critical problems in food and agriculture production. The newly funded, MSU-led project is aimed at establishing a multidisciplinary network of researchers in animal science, computer science and engineering to improve computer vision systems in precision livestock farming.

In 2020, The Dairy Innovation Hub committed nearly $1 million for equipment to build research capacity at the three participating campuses.
Cutting-edge research requires big ideas from the best and brightest minds, but those difference-making research questions can’t come to fruition without equipment and data collection tools to increase research capacity.
The Dairy Innovation Hub, which launched in 2019, harnesses research and development at UW–Madison, UW–Platteville and UW–River Falls campuses to keep Wisconsin’s dairy community at the global forefront in producing nutritious dairy products in an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable manner. It is supported by a $7.8 million annual investment by the state of Wisconsin.
