Climate change and the sustainable use of natural resources are the challenges of the future in agriculture. Emissions from dairy farming are currently the subject of widespread public discussion. Farmers expect science and advice to provide concrete starting points for their specific operations on this topic.

As part of the EIP-AGRI project “NEU.rind”, a simple, practical tool for assessing sustainability, efficiency and environmental impacts on dairy farms is to be created under the project management of Rinderzucht Austria.

In addition to partners from practice (farmers) and consulting (LKÖ), scientific partners such as the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein (research and development) and BOKU also contribute to the implementation of this tool. The digital farm assistant is intended to show farmers practical starting points for improvements and provide concrete assistance for improvements and documentation of environmental impacts.
