Together with filmmaker Tom Law from tomlawsays, we have produced a short documentary film, Digital Animals, about digital innovation in animal farming in the United Kingdom that communicates the findings from our research. The film explores different stakeholders’ views on what innovation means in farming and what opportunities and challenges are raised by the use of digital technologies, at a time when the British government is investing heavily in agri-technology. The film presents four case studies of digital technology development and use with animals in agriculture. The aim of the film is to engage the public and stimulate debate on the kinds of digital transformation that we may want—or not want—in the animal farming sector.
