An academy has launched to help farmers get to grips with livestock enterprise management solutions – from implementation on farm to levelling up their digital record keeping and insight-driven decision making.
The Academy, run by agri-tech company AgriWebb, is an education programme that upskills farm owners, managers and employees, so that their business can achieve more with digital.
It consists of a series of online courses based on AgriWebb features, that will support users to increase their knowledge and optimise their adoption of livestock enterprise management technology.
For larger enterprises, the AgriWebb Academy helps to ensure that all staff are using the programme to its full potential.
AgriWebb, launched in the UK last year, now has more than 1,400 users on over 850 UK farms, spanning large enterprise operations to individual farm businesses.
It seeks to enable farmers to uncover powerful insights from on-farm data, transforming everyday information into a clear path to future success.
With more actionable insights in their hands, farmers can use AgriWebb to increase the profitability, efficiency, and overall sustainability of their farming enterprise.
Initial AgriWebb data from the past 30 days shows that completion of the Academy courses builds livestock farmers’ ability and confidence to use digital on farm.
Individual animal setup and digital record keeping increased 180% among users who have completed the training.
Beth Cambidge, customer success manager at AgriWebb said: “We want to support more UK farmers to build their digital skills, to increase profitability and utilise farm data to help reduce their business’s carbon footprint.
"With the Academy, current users can expand their knowledge at their own pace, while new users will quickly master the facets of AgriWebb that are most relevant to them.”
