A good summary of Israel’s leading position in the dairy technology industry. It includes Israel’s AKOL, which runs a database that monitors the output, health, genetics and fertility of every cow in Israel. It is now partnering with Microsoft to bring the technology to the developing world. AKOL’s sensors can also be placed on trees, vines or in the soil to help farmers be more productive.
