100 anni di IBM – Optimizing the Food Supply

Optimizing the Food Supply

IBM worked with the Danish government in 1988 to create a nationwide cattle registry.

This National Cattle Database collected and managed a breadth of information on 1.2 million bovine animals—including yield, breeding abilities, herdbook, medical history and even udder size and shape.

The database has enabled farmers to optimize the breeding and yield of every cow and provided the Danish government with the visibility and traceability critical to the export of agricultural products.

IBM continues to help governments, farmers and fisheries around the world develop smarter food chains to maximize yield and ensure safety and quality.
