Smart Farming

This program introduces students to a range of agricultural practices, both current and emerging, with a focus on how technology and innovation are transforming the field. Students will explore trends in agriculture and how advancements in technology can enhance various aspects of food production, from crop and animal monitoring to automation in harvesting and food preparation. By analysing real-time sensing data from partner schools, they will learn about the impact of location and environment on farming practices.

As part of the program, students will also visit a farming site in the Yarra Ranges to observe and understand local agricultural practices firsthand. This practical experience will complement their theoretical learning, providing insights into how innovative practices are applied in real-world settings.
