Smart technologies in agriculture
The aim of this activity is to introduce students to the role of smart technologies (often based on artificial intelligence) in agriculture. Today (and increasingly in the future), these technologies allow us to move towards greener agriculture. At the same time, they are also more demanding on resources such as electricity. Beyond the topic of smart technologies, students also learn about types of soil and crops that are suitable to grow on them, along with their properties.
This lesson is based on an activity in which
students play the Smart Farming Simulator (SFM) board game. Please print all parts before the lesson.
