Stakeholder Perspectives on Emissions Decision Support Tools for Livestock Farms

116 stakeholders, primarily farm advisors and farmers from six countries, were surveyed about their use of software-based decision support tools for managing greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions. Evangelos Alexandropoulos published this survey summary on figshare in May 2026. While 87.7% of respondents expressed interest in such tools, less than half reported actually using them for emission-informed decision-making.

Use Cases

• Analyze stakeholder adoption barriers for agricultural software based on survey responses.
• Identify regional differences in tool awareness and use based on the represented countries.
• Prioritize features for emissions management tools based on expressed stakeholder interest.
• Study the role of farm advisors versus farmers in technology adoption within livestock systems.

Strengths

• Provides specific respondent counts and breakdowns by stakeholder type (e.g., 80 advisors, 23 farmers).
• Includes concrete percentages for stakeholder interest (87.7%) and willingness to participate in development (59.6%).
• Explicitly lists the six countries represented in the survey.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 15.5 KB file size suggests the dataset is a summary document, not a raw data table.
