Industrializing Sustainability: AI & Digital Twin Integration in the Beef Farming Value Chain

​BeefTwin Summit: AI & Digital Futures for Sustainable Farming

​In this session, Professor Xiao Ma will share how the BeefTwin project is using AI and digital twin technology to tackle sustainability challenges in beef farming. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how the team is building per-animal digital twins, combining drone imagery, sensor data, and microbiome analysis to track feed efficiency, emissions, and animal growth. We’ll dive into the AI architecture, inference models, and how we’re deploying this tech in the field — all with a focus on scalable, real-world impact. If you’re into applying AI, data fusion, or systems thinking to messy, high-variability environments, this one’s for you.
