Data Driven Dairy Decisions 4 Farmers

Leistungen

Publish and disseminate SOPs by month 24

Develop a series of videos: this will be led by Innovation for Agriculture and create 10 videos (one for each topic guide from task 3a) to support the communication of best practice by showing how sensor generated data can be used on farm. These videos will be hosted on the network website and have subtitles to translate them into the main partner languages. The 10 core videos will be supported with additional videos submitted by industry and farmers to show how they have used sensors on farm. These additional videos will be validated and catalogued before addition to the website. Mobile device webinar videos and videos of farm demonstration events (tasks 2h) will be used to support the core videos on each selected topic.

SOP integration in a decision support tool

Integration of SOPs in a strategic decision support tool with 30 farmers by month 22

Launch 4D4F Website & CoP

Launch the Data Driven Dairy Decisions 4 Farmers 4D4F Website and Community of Practice delivered in month 4 which will provide the structure for online dissemination and exploitation of the project The CoP will include researchers farmers advisory services industry and other stakeholders and provide an online discussion information and feedback forum on how to use dairy cow sensors effectively

Link to EIP Operational Groups

Link to a minimum of 8 EIP Operational Groups to help facilitate further work on sensor technology and data driven decision making in the dairy sector by month 24

Standard Operating Procedures

A minimum of 10 fully developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), in draft form by month 15 and final versions for publication by month 18 will be provided. Each SOP will be a guide to best practice for its specific topic and 4 pages in length

Dairy Sensor Best Practice Guides

Develop best practice guides for the use of sensors technology in the dairy industry: this will be led by USAMV with input from other WP partners. This task will create 10 online guides to best practice in the use of sensor generated data in the dairy industry. The guide will be structured to be easily navigable and include links to external sources of detailed information on innovation and research. Whilst it is hoped farmers will directly access the guides, it will also be designed for use by advisory services and dairy industry who work with many farmers, thus helping to promote the lessons within it much more widely. The selection of topics for the guides will be debated within the CoP (WP2) so that the guides produced are those which will be of most benefit to industry. This will be accomplished by allowing CoP members to propose new topic areas and then to vote on the proposed topics

Agriculture Media Event - Mth 30

Hold an event for the farming media in month 30 to disseminate the network outcomes.

Agriculture Media Event - Mth 12

Hold an event for the farming media, delivered in month 12, to promote the Network website and Community of Practice widely across the EU, to extend its reach and to engage new users.

Online Virtual Warehouse of Technologies

Develop an Online Virtual Warehouse of Technologies for Dairy Sensors: this will be led by ILVO who delivered a similar system in the Cow Sensor (www.koesensor.be) project, including both technical and economic evaluations for the new technologies. This task will establish the online virtual warehouse of technologies, add initial content to the site to allow its functionality to be tested and then invite industry members and the CoP to suggest additional content. The additional content suggested by industry will be categorised and validated by the network partners to ensure that only valid and relevant technologies are hosted on the site.

Develop Special Interest Groups

A protocol and establishment of special interest groups delivered in month 9. Based on several models of knowledge exchange a procedure will be generated to compose special interest groups and deliver innovation brokerage by implementing knowledge exchange processes in several regions. The selection of special interest groups will be based on feedback from farmers on how they use dairy sensors and data analysis technology and the areas in which they think they could develop their use further.

End User Material

"The resulting innovative knowledge and easy accessible end-user material from this project should feed into the EIP-AGRI website for broad dissemination. The end-user material to be produced contains a substantial number of summaries for practitioners in the EIP common format (""practice abstracts""), including the characteristics of the project (e.g. contact details of partners, etc). A full package of practice abstracts is needed for the project, containing all the outcomes/recommendations which are ready for practice. A ""practice abstract"" is a short summary of around 1000-1500 characters (word count – no spaces; see below) which describes a main information/recommendation/practice that can serve the end-users in their daily practice. The guidance to be followed for these practice abstracts and some explanatory text is available on the EIP-AGRI web site (http://ec.europa.eu/eip/agriculture/en/content/eip-agri-common-format). • Short summary for practitioners (1000-1500 characters, word count – no spaces). This summary should at least contain the following information: • Main results/outcomes of the activity (expected or final) • The main practical recommendation(s): what would be the main added value/benefit/opportunities to the end-user if the generated knowledge is implemented? How can the practitioner make use of the results? This summary should be presented as interesting as possible for farmers/end-users, using a direct and easy understandable language and pointing out entrepreneurial elements which are particularly relevant and attractive for practitioners (e.g. related to cost, productivity etc). Research oriented aspects which do not help the understanding of the practice itself should be avoided. "
