Driving Progress: Charting Digital and Data Routes for European Livestock Tracking
The livestock industry in Europe has a lot to gain from using digital tools and data, but progress is often held back by a lack of teamwork, unclear rules, and inconsistent systems. Digi4Live is working to solve these issues by bringing together farmers, tech providers, researchers, and authorities to create better ways to track and manage livestock.
The Digi4Live project is a 4 and half year Horizon Europe project, focusing on setting clear standards, improving regulations, and showing how digital solutions can benefit the economy, society, and the environment. Digi4Live’s goal is to make livestock management easier, improve how policies are monitored, and deliver benefits for businesses, consumers, and the entire industry.
Our role in the project
Foodscale Hub (FSH) will lead the facilitation of continued Multi-Actor Engagement (MAE) and Dissemination, Communication, and Exploitation (DEC) activities, as well as final DEC activities to ensure the legacy and uptake of accepted approaches. To achieve this, FSH will:
- Plan, coordinate, and manage day-to-day DEC activities, ensuring effective sharing of project findings with the target audience, following Foodscale Hub’s guidance and best practices to maximise awareness and engagement.
- Build and strengthen synergies with Horizon Europe projects and other research and innovation projects at international, national, and local levels.
- Collaborate with thematic networks, platforms, and Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) actors to strengthen the project’s impact and sustainability.
