Cornell University has been awarded a portion of a $2 million planning initiative from the U.S. National Science Foundation to establish AI4Ag, a national testbed for artificial intelligence in agriculture.

On June 30, dairy industry leaders from New York state toured the Cornell University Ruminant Center, a one-of-a-kind testbed for new technologies and strategies and a crucial resource for the state's dairy farmers.

The Cornell Institute for Digital Agriculture has announced the recipients of its 2025 Research Innovation Fund faculty and student grants supporting new, cross-disciplinary projects designed to improve global food systems via digital innovation...

Research and development of new agricultural technology takes time. Prototypes of devices such as biosensors for tracking livestock health and soil moisture sensors for crop fields require multiple iterations of testing, validation and redesign...

When you think about the science of dairy farming, you may think about cow genetics or feed formulation, but what about environmental stewardship? This includes things like manure management, cow comfort, and greenhouse gas reduction—all aspects...

Farming can be hard and risky, but technology has the potential to change that. With the help of data generated by devices such as wearable livestock sensors, drones and video cameras, farms can become more efficient and productive, said Dr...

Data collection for agricultural field research can be cumbersome and tedious. Researchers commonly use multiple sensors to gather data from plants, soil and air—all at the same time. The result can be an armload of technology that needs to be...

Farmers today need to be able to access and use data if they want to carry out efficient, climate-smart agriculture. But the road to data-driven farming is not an easy one, according to Dr. Miel Hostens, Robert and Anne Everett associate...

Amidst farm fields and dairy barns, an agricultural revolution is underway — with algorithms, sensors, and automation changing the face of farming. Martin Perez '25, a doctoral student in animal science at Cornell University, works at the...

New climate-controlled animal respiration stalls in CALS – the only ones currently operating in the U.S. – will allow researchers to measure, verify and monitor methane and other gas emissions from cows.

Cutting-edge, data-driven agricultural technologies and precision management strategies designed for the farm of the future will be developed, evaluated and demonstrated, thanks to a four-year, $4.3 million U.S. Department of Agriculture grant.

The Bezos Earth Fund grant will support a project developing low-cost virtual livestock fencing that would benefit farmers and animals, improve public health in developing countries and combat climate change.

A $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research on how big data and tech innovations affect organizational relationships on dairy farms and in the dairy industry.
