Cornell Institute for Digital Agriculture (CIDA) Seminar Series: What can AI bring to the dairy industry in 2025 – Miel Hostens
This seminar is a hybrid event. REGISTRATION REQUIRED for Zoom: https://cornell.zoom.us/meeting/register/XojkOeSrTyOph0WFHVLPDg
In this talk, we will examine the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the dairy industry by 2025. AI technologies, such as machine learning algorithms and advanced vision systems, are poised to enhance precision herd management by monitoring cow health and behavior, automate milking processes for increased efficiency, and analyze vast datasets to provide actionable insights for optimizing farm operations. These advancements will lead to improved productivity, sustainability, and profitability in dairy farming, ultimately revolutionizing the industry.
Robert and Anne Everett Associate Professor of Digital Dairy Management and Data Analytics at Department of Animal Science, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Cornell University (9 months position) and at Department of Laboratory for Animal Nutrition and Animal Product Quality (0.1 FTE – Ghent University) focusing on the creation of methodologies using precision dairy farming to monitor sustainable food production systems from a global perspective.
The Cornell Institute for Digital Agriculture (CIDA), a faculty led initiative focused on creating a strong voice in the emerging area of Digital Agriculture (DA), invites Miel Hostens to present his research for CIDA’s monthly seminar series.
Background on the Cornell Institute for Digital Agriculture:
An interdisciplinary group of Cornell University faculty began meeting in early 2017 to formulate an Initiative for Digital Agriculture, believing that Cornell is uniquely equipped to lead in this emerging arena that will benefit the public for generations. We define DA to mean the application of computational and information technologies coupled with nanotechnology, biology, systems engineering and economics to both the research and operational sides of agriculture and food production. With approximately 100 faculty from 5 Cornell colleges participating, we are collaborating with external stakeholders to shape and implement a research agenda for DA that will build a pipeline of discovery and innovations for the next 10+ years.
