Trends and Innovative Solutions in Smart Growth Production of Milk and Dairy Products

Abstract

Abstract SMART solutions, offered by innovations in precision agriculture, provide livestock farms with the key to an infrastructure modernization based on technological advances, with a direct result on sustainable economic growth. The Romanian farmer and the one from the Member States of the European Union face a series of trends and challenges that would determine the need to develop new management strategies, in line with the global and European requirements on sustainability and sustainability, production efficiency and animal welfare. Nowadays, digitalization is a primary factor in increasing quality and efficiency on farms, and in dairy farms and exploitation of cows is given by high-quality solutions and correct managerial decisions on feed recipes (producers want to know exactly what they feed the animals), protection from diseases, how they are cared for, the climate in the shelter (the influence of their internal and external environmental factors), watering and milking systems, as well as the collection and storage of manure. In other news, the resilience of the food system to shocks is also given by the implementation of circular economy principles.
