The California Dairy Innovation Center (CDIC) coordinates pre-competitive research and educational training in collaboration with industry, check-off programs, and research/academic institutions throughout the state of California in support of a common set of innovation and productivity goals.

A virtual organization created by the California Milk Advisory Board, the CDIC is guided by a Steering Committee that includes California Dairies Inc., California Dairy Research Foundation, California Milk Advisory Board, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Dairy Management Inc., Fresno State University, Hilmar Cheese, Leprino Foods, and UC Davis.

What We Do

The CDIC is designed to stimulate innovation in the California dairy industry, by bringing together producers, processors, and educators around a common set of innovation and productivity goals. The CDIC coordinates pre-competitive research and educational training designed to help achieve those goals.

The CDIC is primarily funded by California dairy producers through the California Milk Advisory Board.
