The GplusE project organised a session during the EAAP Annual Meeting in Warsaw, Poland on 2nd September. The title of the session was: Technical, economic, societal and environmental issues associated with highly productive dairy cows: How the GplusE project can help.
The EAAP session highlighted the technical, economic, ethical and sociological challenges associated with highly productive dairy cows and explained how the GplusE project will attempt to resolve these problems.
