The Digital Agriculture module suite is aimed at students and industry professionals who wish to build their knowledge and skills base to address the complexities of developing, deploying, and managing digital technology in the agriculture sector. Module topics include crop science and production, botany, organic agriculture, introduction to animal science, numerical methods for agriculture and so much more.
Listen to Dr. Dimitrios Argyropoulos, UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering, speaking about key trends in digital agriculture, the importance of transformation in the agricultural production process through rising role of automation and the skills required in the area.
"Digital agriculture is the integration of new and advanced technologies into crop and livestock farming systems to enable farmers and other professionals in the sector to improve food production.
For the implementation of Digital Agriculture four components are of high interest: the internet of things, cloud computing, big data analytics and artificial intelligence, and robotics"
