Enhanced Chilling Automation for Georgia’s Poultry Processing Sector
Enhancing the State of Georgia economic development is one of the four focal points listed in the GTRI mission statement. The enhanced chilling project is sponsored by the State of Georgia through the Agricultural Technology Research Program (ATRP), along with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a recent co-sponsor. ATRP intends to drive transformational innovation in the state’s (and ultimately the nation’s) poultry, agribusiness, and food manufacturing spaces. Since Georgia is the #1 state in the nation in the poultry processing sector, this project is a significant part of GTRI’s alignment with its mission statement.
