Animal welfare has become a fundamental aspect of livestock production, but its assessment remains a challenge. The EU-funded ClearFarm project intends to use Precision livestock farming (PLF) technology to increase animal welfare in the whole production chain of dairy cows and pigs. It will co-design, develop and validate a platform that will inform both farmers and consumers to assist their decision-making.
ClearFarm organized a series of online workshops to seek blueprint solutions based on Precision Livestock Farming technologies for a better understanding of animal welfare in the pig and dairy cow productions.
The first newsletter presents the project, its goals and relevance. Have a look via this link: https://bit.ly/3cP70tP
Interviews with stakeholders indicate that PLF-based market solutions should be seen as a system intervention that affects animals, consumers and value chain stakeholders.
