Stakeholder Survey on Emissions Decision Support Tools for Livestock Farms

116 stakeholders, including 80 livestock farm advisors and 23 livestock farmers, were surveyed to assess needs for Decision Support Tools (DST) related to greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions at the farm level. The survey, authored by Evangelos Alexandropoulos and last updated in May 2026, collected perspectives from stakeholders in Greece, Poland, Germany, Austria, France, and Chile. It found that while most respondents were aware of software-based DST, less than half used them, and even fewer used tools specifically for emissions estimation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing stakeholder adoption barriers for emissions-focused software based on survey responses.
• Identifying regional differences in tool awareness and use based on the represented countries.
• Informing the design of future decision support tools based on expressed user interest and willingness to participate in development.

Strengths

• Provides specific respondent counts and breakdowns by stakeholder type (e.g., 80 advisors, 23 farmers).
• Includes concrete percentages on stakeholder interest (87.7%) and willingness to participate in tool development (59.6%).
• Explicitly lists the countries represented in the survey responses.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is a 358.3 KB PDF document, which is a small, text-based report rather than a structured data table.
