ET4D is an ambitious EU-supported project with partners from eight countries: Germany, Hungary, Denmark, Estonia, Poland, Finland, Turkey and Israel. The project is supported through the EU program ICT-AGRI-FOOD, which in Denmark belongs to the Green Development and Demonstration Programme, GUDP.

ET4D’s main purpose is to:

• Validate and expand the reporting frame of a data management system (DMS) with embedded sensors for on-farm use to collect and process data from dairy barns,
• Demonstrate the system’s applicability in real word application by deploying it in commercial farms in different countries with different climatological and socio-economic boundary conditions,
• Identify information requirements of different interest groups and demonstrate the potential added value of the information sharing for the farmer and other interest groups
