About
The Hannah Dairy Research Foundationare delighted to announce that registration is now open for their Next Generation Data-Led Dairying Conference focusing on the opportunities to the dairy industry from the collection, processing and use of data.
This is the sixth in a series of conferences funded by the Hannah Dairy Research Foundation to help communicate and discuss advances in knowledge and technologies that may benefit the dairy industry. The conference is open to anyone with a research or practical interest in any aspect of the dairy food chain and registration is free to attend in person or on line.
The conference will be held at Moredun Research Institute, Pentlands Science Park from lunchtime on Monday 18th November to lunchtime on Tuesday 19th November and there is travel support available to support UK based early career researchers.
Theme
The theme this year revolves around the use of data in the dairy sector.
In an era where “Artificial Intelligence” has revolutionised the acronym AI for farmers, the opportunities offered by the collection, processing and use of detailed information are substantial. So, perhaps, are the risks.
There are significant challenges to be overcome if the full potential of data-based decision-making is to be realised.
How should the data be gathered in the first place?
How much data is needed, and can there be an excess that hinders rather than helps?
Who owns the data?
How should it be processed and interpreted to obtain maximum benefit?
Who takes responsibility if things go wrong? How far down the AI route should we go?
Where in the dairy foods chain could data use have most (and least) impact?
