QR codes on milk cartons to offer window into livestock health and welfare

 "So far, certification schemes for animal welfare have based decisions on single visits to a farm, maybe once or twice a year, so information is pretty limited," said Dr. Pol Llonch, Technical Project Manager for ClearFarm based at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB).

"ClearFarm will be the first platform to provide non-stop, real-time information on animal welfare. Consumers and producers will be able to view information from every single animal on the farm, every single day of the year."


Wearable sensors will continually collect information, including data on activity, eating patterns, and health, enabling the farmer to monitor their animals when they cannot be with them. Farmers can spot health and welfare issues early and take action as appropriate.



As well as a steady flow of information, ClearFarm will integrate the many different recognized 'domains' of animal welfare—health, nutrition, comfort, emotional state and natural behavior. It will combine all of this to give what Llonch describes as "an unprecedented, comprehensive picture of animal welfare."

Llonch is one of eight researchers working on the ClearFarm project at UAB, returning to the institution where he completed his first degree in veterinary science. The welfare and behavior of farm animals is a lifelong passion for him.


It's not just monitoring the traditional aspects of animal welfare that Llonch is concerned with. As the ClearFarm project develops, he is keen to use the latest insights to improve all aspects of animal well-being on the farm.

What are Aztec prints?

 Referring to Coco Chanel as a fashion designer would be an understatement. The revolutionary creator, crafted a whole new meaning for clothes. She liberalized fashion from the constraints of corsets and allowed women to be comfortable and to love what they wore.  The Aztec (tribal) print is the only print that remained untouched by the legend. Read also|  What is an Aztec label ? However, she does have something to say about it.. And, anyone who questions the raging popularity of Aztec or tribal prints in the fashion industry needs to rename themselves as ‘fashion fools’. Because, this is what Coco Chanel has to say on Aztec prints or any other prints tbh-  “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” And this is exactly how the Aztecs embodied the idea and inculcated that in their clothing. And, we at Whats Down did not shy away from using this classic...

What are decentralized web nodes?

 Zion uses decentralized web nodes (DWNs) for data storage and messaging. It allows participants to securely manage and transact their data with others without relying on a provider or location-specific infrastructure or routing. Read more | https://barcodetypes.blogspot.com/2022/11/what-are-application-identifiers.html Decentralized web nodes remain as a draft specification under development within the Decentralized Identity Foundation, and aren't yet recommended for usage by W3C. Is Zion similar to Bluesky? Zion’s mission is indeed similar to Bluesky, an initiative started in 2019 by Dorsey to develop a decentralized social network. Because Bluesky was created as a nonprofit owned by the team developing it, it remains unaffected by Musk’s recent acquisition of Twitter. In October 2022, Bluesky announced it is building AT Protocol, a new foundation that also incorporates the usage of DIDs as stable IDs. Bluesky has the same goal as Zion for portable accounts, privacy and decentral...
