Yili Group presented a China-based model for whole-value-chain symbiosis at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO) inaugural Global Conference for Actions on One Health in Agrifood Systems. One Health seeks to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems, while RENOFARM is FAO’s 10-year global initiative launched in 2024. Speaking at the “RENOFARM in Action” session, Yili Group Vice President XU Ke outlined three stories showing how healthy ecosystems, precision farming and shared growth can reinforce one another across the dairy value chain.
In dairy farming, improving animal welfare through science-based management remains a key industry priority. The team at Yili’s Chilechuan Ecological Smart Farm has upgraded its whole-life-cycle cow health and welfare farming technologies. Automated temperature control, IoT-enabled health monitoring and precision nutrition tailored to each growth stage help safeguard the quality of raw milk.
