Description
Farm-level interdisciplinary approaches to endemic livestock disease or FIELD (https://field-wt.co.uk/) was a five-year interdisciplinary project funded by the Wellcome Trust (2018-2023).
The data archived here includes the social science strand of the research. Specifically, qualitative and quantitative research with farmers, their advisors and consumers conducted between 2018-2022. The aims of this research were:
- to investigate how farmers and their advisors understand and respond to endemic livestock disease, their current lameness and BVD management practices and the barriers and enablers of recommended practice through a Farmer survey, farmer focus groups and farmer and advisor interviews:
- to gain a better understanding of the variation in public attitudes towards farm animal welfare and health, and in particular, endemic livestock disease through a consumer survey and consumer focus groups.
