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

Sm@RT uses an original interactive, transdisciplinary, and multi-stakeholder approach, based on three levels of networking: 1) a network of well-equipped demonstration farms (digifarms), 2) a network of innovative commercial farms to foster 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 digifarm networks and innovative farms, with testimonials collected to boost dissemination and communication in an environment of trust.
