Feb 6, 2026: DairyMix Final Workshop: multi-criteria assessment and decision support for sustainable circular mixed dairy farming systems

DairyMix assessed the sustainability and circularity of integrated dairy farming systems in Europe and Argentina, combining farmlevel data collection, bio-economic modelling and multi-criteria assessment. The project investigated environmental, economic and social sustainability and crop-forestry-livestock integration, and developed new digital technologies for the monitoring of barn climate and emissions. The project results were implemented on a long-lasting online platform for decision support and stakeholder interaction.

The Final Workshop presents the key scientific outcomes and discusses future research perspectives on agroecological pathways for more resilient and low-emission dairy farming systems. 

Date: 6 February 2026 | 14:00–16:15 CET
