ClearFarm

ClearFarm will be the first platform to provide non-stop, real-time information on animal welfare. Consumers and producers will be able to view information from every single animal on the farm, every single day of the year. This approach hinges on precision livestock farming, or PLF, which involves using modern tools like sensors, AI data processing, and automation to gather data and optimize farm output. The idea is to strap wearable sensors to the animals that continuously collect data on activity, diet, and overall health. Not only will farmers be able to intervene quickly and more responsibly when the system detects a health problem in one of their livestock, but the system will also open a window into the real-time comfort, emotional state, and behavior of these animals. Although precision livestock farming is, for the moment, a very niche approach, it is expanding fast and could conceivably become the norm driven by surging labor costs and growing demand for protein and dairy products.
