The First Cow-Mounted Biodiversity Sensor

WHAT IS DAISY?

At DAISY, we understand how field biodiversity impacts environmental goals, livestock grazing patterns, livestock rotation, and field resowing. We set out to quantify four key field indicators and display them in a useful interface to help you better understand your fields. â€‹

Using the DAISY sensor cowbell mounted to a cow collar, distributions of grass, clover, dung and bare soil can be monitored.
