When a computer scientist joins forces with agricultural scientists, the possibilities for collaboration are nothing short of revolutionary!
A public lecture by WA Agricultural Research Collaboration (WAARC) Agricultural Technologies Program Lead and Murdoch University Professor of Computer Science Ferdous Sohel, showcased how this powerful combination is transforming agriculture with precision farming, real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and optimised resource use.
The future of farming is here, and AgTech is leading the charge towards smarter, more sustainable, and resilient agriculture.
Many thanks to The UWA Institute of Agriculture for hosting this special lecture ‘Digital Technologies in Agriculture: Contemporary Research’ at The University of Western Australia’s Bayliss Lecture Theatre on 21 November.
It was a great turn-out including WAARC Director Dr Kelly Pearce and several members of the WAARC team who were proud to support Ferdous. His passion, expertise, and dedication to supporting the next generation of AgTech leaders are truly inspiring.
Thank you also to Shadow Minister for Agriculture and Food the Hon. Colin de Grussa, UWA researchers, and industry members for their attendance.
A recording of the lecture is now available to watch via The UWA Institute of Agriculture YouTube channel.
