Globally Present, Locally Driven

Our roots stem from a private sector agribusiness in America’s heartland. Our projects, partnerships and local insights cross continents. These factors steer how we work to strengthen global agricultural markets. But, you don’t have to take our word for it. Learn more about individual projects below.

Dairy Nourishes Africa – Building Inclusive Livelihoods through Dairy (DNA-BILD), Funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperative Agency (SIDA)

Driving inclusive, climate-smart economic development in the dairy sector of the Northern Milkshed in Tanzania by investing in women- and youth-owned enterprises.

July 2022 - July 2024
The Dairy Nourishes Africa - Building Inclusive Livelihoods through Dairy in Tanzania (DNA-BILD) project is a two-year project in the northern milkshed of Tanzania (Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions). DNA-BILD extends DNA’s impact to reach resource-poor, opportunity-constrained stakeholders across the dairy value chain that would otherwise not be engaged, particularly women and youth, to enable inclusive, climate-smart economic development in the dairy sector. 

Dairy Nourishes Africa collaborates with farmer-allied enterprises — or SMEs that strategically and intentionally supply and/or source from smallholder farmers — to strengthen their capacity, improve their productivity, and enhance their livelihoods, resiliency, and adaptation to climate change. This, in turn, enables the production of affordable, locally produced dairy products, improving the consumption of nutritious and safely processed dairy.
