The Agricultural and Rural Inspiration Awards (ARIA) is searching for the greenest, smartest, most socially inclusive, innovative and resilient Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) projects implemented at the local level. Six ARIA 2025 winners in different categories will be announced at the ARIA ceremony on 3 December, in Brussels and online. After evaluating more than 120 applications, 24 inspiring projects have been shortlisted and they are now competing for the award in their thematic category
Estonian Dairy Cluster’s WISECOW is one of nominees in ARIA 2025 contest. WISECOW is a smart system that helps farmers take better care of their animals by making their daily work easier and faster. Wisecow Health focuses on monitoring the health of farm animals, from their very first days through their whole life. It uses a small implant under the skin to collect real-time health data such as body temperature, without needing any human interaction. This means illnesses can be spotted earlier, even before symptoms appear, helping reduce disease and improve animal wellbeing. Secondly, Wisecow Find helps farmers quickly locate animals using LED collars controlled by a smart mobile app. This often saves more than half the time normally spent finding animals and helps workers focus more on the animals themselves
WISECOW improves farmers life on way it hasn’t done before. So we call everybody to vote for WISECOW before Monday, 1 December at 18.00 (CET)
