The ultimate goal of Digi4Live is to increase the capacity of livestock sector actors across Europe to benefit from data generating and digital technologies. By using multi-actor approach, which brings together livestock sector actors from farm to fork, technology suppliers, competent authorities, R&D initiatives and other key actors, and engages them in co-creation of digital & data concepts, Digi4Live enables greater use of current and new livestock data & digital technologies in livestock tracking and tracing.
Digi4Live boosts the creation of standards and harmonised regulations, thus eliminating technical barriers for data and new data-generating technologies, and provides evidence on economic, social and environmental impacts of data-driven solutions in the livestock sector. This will include more efficient public administration and policy monitoring & assessment and benefits to businesses and consumers, enabling the making of informed decisions.
The role and interest of Finnish Food Authority focus on analysing regulatory and policy matters relating to livestock tracking: Identifying near-future needs, expectations and requirements regarding data and data management by competent authorities and enhancing capacities in policy monitoring and evaluation in the field of agriculture, environment, climate, and sustainable finance. In addition, exploring possibilities of novel sensors and technologies for livestock tracking.
