The summer school took place over two weeks, the first week in person and the second week online.
During the first week, the participants attended lectures on digitalisation in agriculture, the basics of computer and robotic systems in agriculture, smart and precise agricultural machinery, sustainable approaches to land management, precision agriculture in viticulture; practical work with precision agriculture systems; demonstrations and field trips to show examples of implementing of new technologies on farms.
The second week of the training was realised online with a series of practical online courses and continued with simple ICT examples and preparation of the students for more advanced steps in precision agriculture.
The training was conducted by local and international lecturers.
Precision agriculture is an innovative approach that combines information and communication technology (ICT) with agriculture, to improve its efficiency and reduce waste. ICT in precision agriculture can help farmers monitor crop growth and soil health in real-time, leading to better decision-making and higher yields. Examples of ICT tools used in precision agriculture include drones, sensors, GPS and data analytics software, which can provide farmers with a more comprehensive understanding of their crops and land.
We would like to thank the University of Maribor for the invitation!
