The ICT in Precision Agriculture was organized by the Faculty of Africulture and Life Sciences and offered students an exciting opportunity to dive into the future of farming, where technology meets sustainability. The programme began with a virtual component, featuring expert lectures on smart farming trends in Czech agriculture and innovations like Norway’s DigiPig project, which digitises livestock farming. Participants explored topics such as robot navigation, obstacle avoidance, and precision spraying techniques, all aimed at making agriculture more efficient and environmentally friendly.
In the in-person part of the programme, the focus shifted to hands-on learning. Students explored how information and communication technologies (ICT) are transforming farming practices. The summer school highlighted the importance of digital tools in improving productivity, reducing environmental impact, and ensuring sustainable farming practices. With practical workshops, field visits, and demonstrations of cutting-edge machinery, participants learned how smart solutions are enhancing agriculture. This immersive experience helped students from various disciplines understand the key role of digitalisation in modern farming and gain valuable skills for the future.
