Project URSE : LIFE EFFAC

Transfer of agro-ecological innovations in dairy buildings.

When considering the construction or adaptation of their dairy buildings, farmers and future farmers can ask themselves many questions: new or renovation? Location? Nature and size of the structure? Investment cost? Operating costs? Working conditions… without forgetting the new challenges: animal welfare, societal expectations, climate change
