SE – AI livestock farming solution nominated for £1m science prize fund – Queen Mary University of London
A research project led by Queen Mary University of London and Guangxi Veterinary Research Institute, China, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve livestock farming has been nominated for the £1m Newton Prize fund.
‘Farm AI: Community Smart Farming from IoT to AI’ aims to take the researchers’ work in China – a project named LIVEQuest* which developed a wearable Internet-of-Things (IoT) platform that enables automated data collection on animal welfare and barn environment – further into the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
It will support the sustainable intensification of food production and animal health by community farm holders via the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) along the old and new silk routes.
