To execute dairy farming projects, the Instituto Bissistêmico (IBS) uses the CheckMilk methodology, which has a platform with a management system and an application for technical teams and producers. The system facilitates project management and the application assists producers on a daily basis, as a support, an extension of the IBS consultancy that can be accessed at any time in the palm of your hand.
The CheckMilk methodology was inspired by the guide to good sustainable milk practices from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Milk Federation (FIL). There are 160 checklists in six major areas: milking health and hygiene, animal welfare, socioeconomic issues, and environmental issues.
​
The platform allows monitoring the degree of compliance of properties in different areas. In the case of dairies, cooperatives, or other organizations in the dairy sector, CheckMilk generates ESG subsidies, facilitating accountability to society and governance, for example. Through the platform, the organization can learn about the profile of its milk suppliers, in addition to having an overview of properties that meet ESG standards.
