Minor Smart Farming

Expand your field of expertise

Expand your field of expertise in projects where, for example, you will:

• combine location and activity data for the early detection of claw diseases of cows;
• measure soil humidity and temperature using precision sensors to improve the quality of golf fields;
• analyse data from soil and crop sensors to predict and improve yields  of different crops.

Smart Farming provides a learning environment for students with various backgrounds in which they acquire and apply knowledge and gain skills for developing innovative solutions.

Themes during minor Smart Farming

Themes to be discussed are:

• New technologies in different sectors such as health care and leisure and examples of smart farming in different agricultural sectors
• Cross overs: gaining knowledge and skills from a multi-disciplinary perspective to find solutions for your own field of expertise
• You will develop your own set of tools: learning techniques such as biomimicry, sensing, robotics and data science covering different sectors such as health care, nature, geo-information and the internet of things
• (Big) data: from data to information using the data cycle: data acquisition, storage, analysis, visualisation, actions and evaluation
• Sustainability: people, planet, profit of smart farming
• Implement the previous themes in projects intended for different stakeholders
