Sm@RT: Small Ruminant Technology - Precision Livestock Farming and Digital Technology for Small Ruminants

Sm@RT uses an original interactive, transdisciplinary and multi-actor approach, based on 3 levels of networks: 1) a network of well-equipped demonstration farms ('digifarms'), 2) a network of innovative commercial farms to encourage exchanges with 3 ) the small ruminant industry in each country. Farmers' needs/barriers in terms of technology use will be assessed through a global survey and a series of workshops. Solutions to these needs will be proposed during the workshops. Training and demonstration opportunities will be offered through the digifarms networks and innovative farms with testimonials collected to drive dissemination and communication in an environment of trust.
