Cattlechain, coordinated and supported by Sensowave, FIWARE Foundation, Institut de l’Elevage Idele, and Natrus, aims to enhance farm productivity, guaranteeing cattle traceability and welfare with blockchain technologies. The project hereby addresses one of the main challenges of the European livestock sector, which is in need of innovative tools to increase its efficiency and assure full transparency and traceability along the supply chain.
The aim of this webinar is to present the solutions developed on the project’s scope combining IoT devices and external sensors (grazing, weighing and drinking behaviour) with a new generation of Artificial Intelligence algorithms, Sentinel satellite imagery and blockchain technologies to provide comprehensive, reliable and cost-effective tools to monitor beef and dairy cattle, support decision making, reduce operational costs and increase overall productivity and efficiency in the farm. Thanks to the blockchain guaranteed animal welfare indicators, traceability of the dairy/meat products sold/purchased will result in trusted information for retailers and consumers that may even provide feedback to farmers thanks to specific apps that will be created for that purpose.
