LivestockSense

LivestockSense is granted by ICT-AGRI-FOOD. The project covers 6 EU countries and 1 non-EU country (Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Austria, Denmark, Sweden and Israel). The project will be active from April 1, 2021 to June 1, 2022. The main objectives of LivestockSense are: (1) improve the economic and environmental viability of livestock farms through application of advanced information and communication technologies AND (2) identify/remove social barriers for technology adoption to achieve a wider use of ICT on farms. This will be achieved by selecting and supplying a number of farms in 5 key geographical areas in Europe with Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) tools. Both qualitative and quantitative surveys will be used to understand farmers’ attitudes towards PLF tools in order to identify barriers for the limited adoption of ICT based technologies.
