AgTech for climate-smart dairy farming

• New capacities built for the dairy production sector in LAC and implementation of CSDF.
• Establishment of a public-private network with the technical capacity to develop climate-smart dairy production.
• Digital tools (a web platform, applications for mobile devices and computers), based on good practices, to manage climate-smart dairy farms.
• Dairy farmers, technicians and extension workers trained in the use of technological tools for the sustainable management of dairy establishments.

Consensus on a document of good practices reached by participant countries, specifically related to: pastures and crops, hygiene in milking, animal health, environment, animal reproduction, socioeconomic management, feeding, animal welfare, and inclement weather. Development of LECHECK.APP, an application based on the consensus document that helps producers and technicians to implement good practices in dairy farms. The purpose of LECHECK.APP is to improve productivity, guarantee milk quality, mitigate GHG production and adapt to climate change in order to achieve CSDF status. Technicians have started to be trained in the use of the app in different countries.
