## [AFRIQUE] How technology can boost dairy farming Smart agriculture

Dairy farming in Kenya is a critical industry, providing milk and milk products for both domestic consumption and export. Many dairy farmers, however, face challenges in terms of efficiency, expenses, and profitability. Moreover, increasing dairy herd size, shortage of available workers and rising labor costs have made it increasingly difficult for producers to provide specific attention to each individual animal. Due to these changes in the dynamics of herd size and production per animal, as well as the growing concerns surrounding animal welfare, the dairy industry has become one of the leading adopters of technology in an effort to improve the overall performance of their businesses.

This, however, does not discourage the major tractor manufacturers from constantly seeking new ways of applying the power of the silicon chip to agriculture, and both Case New Holland and John Deere have recently partnered with smaller tech companies in a bid to exploit its capabilities...

The Enterprise Machine Intelligence Learning Initiative (EMILI) and Assiniboine Community College (ACC) are working together on ag-tech innovation and education. The two hope to increase digital skills to address labour shortages in the ag sector. Studies show that Canada's ag sector could be facing a shortage of 123,000 workers by 2030. RBC's Farmer 4.0 Report suggests that the advanced technologies emerging across agriculture and sub-sectors will change the skills needed in the sector over the next decade. EMILI and ACC will be working on the development of data literacy training programs, increasing work-integrated learning opportunities, and testing new technologies to ensure they work on the farm. In recent years, the two have been focused on the potential of digital agriculture in the prairies. EMILI and ACC's combined resources, Innovation Farms Powered by AgExpert and ACC's Prairie Innovation Centre for Sustainable Agriculture, will provide people with the skills and training required to succeed in a digital agriculture economy.

L'une des promesses de l'agriculture de précision est d'améliorer le bien-être des animaux d'élevage. Ce dernier fait l'objet de normes établies, notamment par la directive européenne 98/58/CE [2]. Cette réglementation prévoit un certain nombre de modalités veillant à préserver le lien éleveur-animal et à limiter le caractère invasif ou perturbateur de certains apports technologiques. Elle demande par exemple la mise à disposition d'un personnel suffisamment nombreux au contact des animaux et une surveillance quotidienne pour détecter d'éventuelles souffrances.

**[AMERICA] Using AI technology can find, help control smutgrass**

Smutgrass can spread quickly and take over grazing lands, leaving cattle with little left to eat. "It can completely invade a pasture within three years, if left untreated. It is quite common to see pastures in southern Florida that are 100% smutgrass," said Brent Sellers, a University of Florida agronomy professor and director of the UF/IFAS Range Cattle Research and Education Center (RCREC). But for newly published research, scientists from around the world, including Sellers, teamed up to use artificial intelligence to identify and help control the invasive weed. They found they can use drones to identify small smutgrass patches, which is the first step for site-specific weed control, where scientists can spray only small, infested areas of pastures.
