About
Aurore Philibert is a leading researcher at the intersection of agricultural technology, animal welfare, and human-animal relationships. Her work critically examines how precision livestock farming (PLF) transforms the daily practices and perceptions of farmers, with a particular focus on the evolving bond between humans and animals. In her highly cited 2020 study, "Farmers’ representations of the effects of precision livestock farming on human-animal relationships" (45 citations), Philibert demonstrates that while PLF can enhance monitoring efficiency, it also risks distancing farmers from direct animal contact, potentially altering perceptions of animal welfare. By centering farmers’ lived experiences and representations, she provides a nuanced, socio-technical perspective often missing in technology-driven agricultural debates. Her contributions are vital for designing ethical, welfare-conscious farming innovations. Philibert’s work is essential reading for students and researchers in animal science, agricultural ethics, and human-animal studies, offering a balanced view of technology’s promise and its hidden costs to the human-animal bond.
