The “PROFARMED: Advancing Precision Livestock Farming Education” project seeks to advance academic education in Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) by strengthening sustainable livestock management practices, thereby contributing to improving the livestock agricultural sector from social, economic, and environmental perspectives. This objective will be achieved through the development of a comprehensive Practical Educational Plan to enhance the capacities of academics in livestock agriculture, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to foster sustainability and innovation.
