The Vital Capital Index (VCI) and Toolkit for Dairy Agriculture is a practical tool to help dairy farmers identify opportunities for improving agricultural stewardship and to communicate their stewardship to their stakeholders and supply chain.  It is meant to help dairy farmers to identify improvement opportunities and make improvements appropriate to their farm.  Initially, the VCI could be used to "benchmark" conditions on a farm.  Over time, a farmer could use the VCI to track their efforts at continuous improvement.
