EXPECTED RESULTS

The Webgoat project aims to transform Mediterranean agro-pastoralism by improving farmer profits, embracing circular economies, and advancing animal and public health. Our strategies directly address the sector's pressing economic and environmental challenges, paving the way for a sustainable and profitable future.

Economic, Social, and Environmental Enhancement

1. Profitability Boost for Farmers

  • Address the significant cost of feed which impacts goat production profitability by testing cost-reducing diets without compromising efficiency.

2. Circular Economy Integration

  • Implement alternative feed resources to lessen dependency on external markets, lower strategic supply risks, and improve the trade balance of agricultural commodities.

3. Social Conditions and Public Health

  • Improve animal health and welfare to prevent economic loss and zoonotic risks, thereby enhancing public health through 'OneHealth' approaches.

4. Carbon Footprint Reduction

  • Advance sustainable food production and rural development while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions from livestock.

Strategic Goals Support

EI-2: Pastoral Ecosystems Preservation

  • Provide analysis of animal genetics for biodiversity mapping and assessment of climate vulnerability relative to goat breed responses.

EI-3: Traditional Pastoral Products Enhancement

  • Enhance the quality, safety, and diversity of goat milk and meat by applying a system biology approach and developing good practices for hygiene and safety.

Information dissemination

  • Produce brochures, videos, technical datasheets, and manuals in local languages to promote the consumption of goat-derived products and educate on best practices.
