Abstract:

The RuFaS project aims to build an integrated, whole-farm model that simulates milk, meat, and crop production, and critical metrics of sustainability from ruminant farms using the highest standards for prediction accuracy, code structure and clarity, documentation, and accessibility. In doing so, the work will support research and sustainable decision-making in ruminant animal production through a state-of-art, open-source modeling environment. During the seminar we will share updates on the current state of the RuFaS project and plans for the coming year. As part of our continued commitment to participatory development, we will reserve time to solicit feedback, answer questions, and facilitate discussion.
