🤖🌱 AI in Agriculture – Empowering the Next Generation 🌱🤖

We’re excited to launch our AI in Agriculture High School Program, bringing together industry leaders, including CSIRO and NBN, to deliver a cutting-edge learning experience across regional NSW.

This program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to understand how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of agriculture. From analysing satellite data and drone imagery to monitoring soil health, biodiversity and water systems, students will explore how technology is transforming decision-making on farms.

Delivered across multiple regional locations, the program connects students directly with experts, giving them real-world insights into how innovation is driving productivity, sustainability and resilience in agriculture.

More than just learning about technology, students will develop the confidence to engage with complex data, think critically, and see the opportunities that exist at the intersection of agriculture, environment and digital innovation.

This is about building future pathways—showing young people that agriculture is not only essential, but also one of the most exciting and evolving industries they can be part of.
