Key takeaways
TAFE Queensland in partnership with Queensland Farmers Federation is hosting “Embracing Agriculture Digital Innovation Workshops” across various locations from October to November 2024.
Led by agricultural innovation expert Sonya Comiskey, the two-day workshops will explore cutting-edge digital and precision technologies in agriculture. Key topics include data usage, cyber-security, IoT systems, drones, GPS, and automation, with a focus on improving farm management and supply chain processes.
In the lead up to the workshops, the TAFE Queensland in collaboration with TNQ Drought Hub will host online sessions introducing AgValuate, an innovation readiness assessment tool designed to help farmers identify areas where technology and innovation can improve their businesses. The AgValuate results will be used in conjunction with the workshop to enhance farmers knowledge and skills and increase the understanding of the benefits of digital and precision technologies.
The Embracing Agriculture Digital Innovation Workshops are open to all farmers, regardless of their level of experience with digital technologies.
