Konya Karaman region has strategic importance with animal population and the contribution of the industrial enterprises for animal husbandry to the national economy.The dizzying developments in the field of information and technology in the World shows ıts effect in all sectors.In recent years,in this respect,there has been an increase in the number of modern cattle breeding enterprises using high- capacity latest tecnology in our region through important incentives and supports for livestock investments and there is also big tendency in this direction .Fully automated robotic systems which increase productivity and profitability and which made a great contribution to animal welfare and health will be used in these newly established or to be established enterprises.Livestock sector has to keep up with the development of livestock tecnologies and also considering that both the sector and the tecnologies will progress further in the near future ,it is inevitable that qualified employment oppurtunitues will increase in this field.Although the sector has the power to invest ,the biggest problem is the lack of qualified intermediate stuff.The biggest problems of the vocational high school graduated students are the lack of qualified employment area and unemployment.Also,in our region ,national and international cooperation has not been established sufficiently between vocational education instutions that train intermediate stuff to the sector and laber market.Our Project that we have prepared will contribute to the developments in business life with fast changing technology and prodution also, it will gain the necessary knowledge and skills to young people who will work as stuff in the livestock sector also we have prepared the formal education and internship activities with the requirement to be European Union standards and also we have arranged vocational education in accordance with the expectations of national ,local,international labor markets. Our Project was carried out under the coordination of Karaman Agricultural Cooperatives Union in Konya. 6 personnel in charge of vocational training of vocational high schools in our region ,that train stuff in the sector ,have carried out on the job monitoring activities from 19 August to 23 August ,excluding travel and with a 5-day program at the farms that use the most advanced tecnologies of DeLavel İnternational EU in animal husbandry in Sweden.Abroad partner of our Project is DeLavel international EU which is World brand and leader .That it is a Project partner of such a large and powerful enterprise in the sector has enabled our participants to have unique mobility experience in their professional sense .With in the scope of our Project ,in Sweden ,with DeLaval International EU connected and in control, on the job activity has been carried out in 5 different farms and 8 different stables (Hedenlunda dairy cattle farm,Seglingsberg dairy cattle farm ,Sweden University of Agricultural Sciences Faculty of Veterinary and animal Sciences livestock and research center dairy cattle farm and Harby Sateri dairy cattle farm ) and also,professional knowledge and skills competence has developed in herd manegement and identification system ,milking systems (Robotic milking-VMS,Fishbone HB,Parallel Rotary milking systems)milk room ,cooling tanks and aquipments ,milking cow shelters that appropriate animal welfare “Habitat”(bearing spacers,cow beds ,fertilizer processing systems ,fertilizer pumping and mixing systems watering equipments,neck irons, animal curycomb,barn vantilation fans)feeding system and feed ingredients,birth and reproduction ,birth department and infırmary equipment ,calf and young animal breeding robotic and fully automated systems in the farms.New collabarations have been established at national and international levels with business and vocational education instutions and organizations in the sector.Capacity building has been achieved in the preperation ,implementation and monitoring of EU.With our Project:*With the dissemination activities and qualified vocational training activities of vocational training personnel ,intermediate personnel, as requested by the sector ,have been started to train.*The personnel development of our vocational training stuff in different cultural environments has been ensured.*The Europeanism ,innovation and quality are adopted .*In the process of harmonization with the EU,our vocational training organization structure has been developed in accordance with European Union standarts.*Modern Technologies have started to be used in Livestock in the region.Also:A sustainable production system has been adopted in accordance with the European Union standarts where the quality and healthy products are produced in the region livestock and also it is expected that in the near future, the contribution of the region livestock

The Data Driven Dairy Decisions for Farmers (4D4F) thematic network will focus on the role which dairy animal and environmental sensors can play in collecting real time information to help make more informed decisions in dairy farming. The network will develop a Community of Practice comprised of farmers, farm advisors, technology suppliers, knowledge exchange professionals and researchers who will work together to debate, collect and communicate best practice drawn from innovative farmers, industry and the research community to facilitate the co-creation of best practice. The results will be communicated to farmers using best practice guides on the use of sensors and data analysis tools supported by videos, infographics and an online virtual warehouse of dairy sensor technologies. The network will include the development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) which can be tailored to individual farms to help farmers and farm advisors adopt dairy sensor and data analysis technology. The SOPs will be developed by working groups of the Community of Practice including farmers, farm advisors, technology suppliers, knowledge exchange professionals and researchers, who will work together to develop farmer friendly SOPs. The on line Community of Practice and published communication tools will be complimented by on farm events and workshops to help farmers and farm advisors implement innovative sensor and data analysis technologies. The workshops and events will promote discussion between farmers and their peers on how best to use sensors and data analysis in their own businesses. This will lead to local peer to peer support to facilitate the adoption of data driven dairy decision making. The network will work closely with EIP Agri and at member state level it will work with existing EIP Operational Groups working on dairy data and sensors and, where suitable Operational Groups do not exist, it will work with local partners to develop new Operational Groups.

SF4S is a collaborative action with partners from HEIs, VET providers, innovation networks and business entities from the Agri-food, Health and the Mobility sectors. It supports our transition to a more sustainable European economy by helping to address the lack of green, digital and future (i.e. sustainability foresight) skills among students and professionals and by connecting knowledge flows between HEI, VET and industry actors that are necessary for Europe to develop cooperative solutions on a large-scale and support the recommendations for action in the major reports: Green Deal, NextGenerationEU, European Skills Agenda and OECD Future of Education and Skills 2030. We do this by advancing and scaling an innovative approach that we call Strategic Foresight for Sustainability (SF4S) based on best practices and methods from corporate foresight, sustainability management, green business models, digital skills and green product/service development across value chains and industries. SF4S is based on an entrepreneurial cooperative approach in our community of practice of 250 industry professionals and 100 HEIs, which develop engagement and insight from the three industries through 130 interviews, four large-scale co-development projects and the development, testing and deployment of learning and training materials for HEIs, VETs and business sector through the community. The ambition is pan-European, and 400 students will initially be reached through the SF4S project and its open access materials. The living community of practice will scale beyond the project itself, and into other industries. The long-term impact, which in itself is a starting point for European-wide transition, will be three industries adopting new sets of futures and future sustainability foresight skills, and both VET and HEI students entering the workforce with Foresight for Sustainability skills that enable them to create actions that support the long-term green transition that Europe needs.
