Introduction
Sustainable agriculture not only helps find a balance between the volume of food production and proper maintenance of the ecosystem, it also promotes the economic stability of the farmers, with nearly 40% of its population relying on agriculture as livelihood.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) assisted sustainable smart agriculture practices with data-driven approaches integrating AI and machine learning with big data technologies and high-performance computing could drive agricultural productivity.
Description
The program emphasises on the relevance of AI assisted smart Agriculture, tools and techniques needed for that. The program will discuss some of the advanced applications of AI in agriculture. It will also emphasize on how an agricultural ecosystem can be developed so that the benefits of AI can reach small farmers.
The course objective is to develop critical skills in Future technologies that can be applied in the field of agriculture, and be able to demonstrate the ability to innovate around the acquired skills and knowledge by conceptualizing ideas around AI in Agriculture. This course will be an 8Week Virtual learning, and will be structured into 4 Phases; Introduction Phase, Discussion phase, Conceptualization Phase and Demonstration Phase.
The course will initially orient the students into the world of Artificial Intelligence, by learning basic concepts that define AI and its elements. These skills will be tested using Quizzes and assignments to demonstrate understanding of the concepts. The second phase will delve deeper into understanding and analysing technologies that are critical to Agriculture, observe through case studies, their applications, and discuss critically potential applications in today’s farming. To demonstrate grasp of this phase, the students will be challenged to get into groups and discuss innovative ideas that can be applied to modern farming, and this will be marked and graded. The third phase, will be coining business infrastructure around these ideas, by training on commercializing the concepts to becoming sustainable businesses in the field of Agriculture. The final phase will be to challenge different concepts by making virtual presentations before a panel of judges, opening up the students’ opportunities to implementing the ideas into the real world.
The classes, discussions and presentations will all be virtual to promote digital learning for knowledge.
