Dr. Idan Kopler | Precision Livestock Farming | Research Excellence Award

Project manager | MIGAL Galilee Research Institute Ltd  | Israel

Idan Kopler is an interdisciplinary environmental researcher specializing in ecosystem ecology, hydrology, climate–vegetation interactions, and data-driven agri-environmental systems. His research focus centers on understanding how temperature, drought, and soil moisture regulate ecosystem processes across forested and managed landscapes, with emerging interests in the socio-environmental dimensions of precision livestock farming and technology adoption. Kopler has held research-oriented academic roles, contributing to cross-sector collaborations that bridge ecological science with applied agricultural systems. His key contributions include advancing empirical evidence on growth-limiting climatic drivers at montane treelines, quantifying soil–vegetation–water interactions in Mediterranean forests, and evaluating farmer perceptions of benefits and risks associated with precision livestock farming technologies in the European context. Through integrative field measurements, modeling, and stakeholder-focused analyses, his work supports evidence-based decision-making. Kopler’s impact vision is to strengthen climate-resilient land and livestock systems by aligning ecological insight with practical innovation, informing sustainable management, policy dialogue, and responsible technological adoption across diverse environments.
