Brief

The project will be in four phases.

Phase one

Australian Agricultural Transitions

The main farming products for this assignment are potatoes because it is a common and cool seasonal vegetable in Australia. Most areas in Australia support the growth of potatoes because of the soils and seasons, which are more favorable. The most important agricultural digital transition I think would work well for potato farming in Australia is the use of Water Level Monitor.

About Water Level Monitor

Since many farmers sometimes face a lot of food losses due to uncontrolled water levels, Water Level Monitor would be an efficient technology to help Australian farmers keep track of the waters levels in tanks, dams and boreholes. Water Level Monitor helps farmers detect any issues early enough such as leaks in their water storages. It also saves on time and cost of labor fuel, making the farmers work easier.

Skills/ Training Programs farmers need to Use Water Level Monitor.

Farmers need to understand more about the Water Level Monitor, how to interpret the results they bring and how to use it. Farmers also need to learn about how to identify problems by using technology that will help manage their farming activities. They also need to understand critical decision-making, especially since they will need to solve all problems relating to the farm as soon as Water Level Monitor picks up a problem.

Data map for future training and education programs

After training the farmers on the above skills they must learn, they will need to have more training and education programs on how to boost crop yield in potato farming and how they can maintain their production at a high level. They also need to learn about prevention measures for decreased potato yields.

Strategy for Education Interventions

First, it will be important to identify the educational needs and specific areas the farmers need education on. Conduct a planning process for the farmers and train them progressively, ensuring all farmers are on track with all training. Check for feedback from the farmers about the education programs to see whether they are on track. It is also important to monitor their progress.

Strategy for capability Development Frameworks

When developing a capability development framework, it is important first to outline the principles of the competency framework. Identifying the purpose and structure of the competency model will also help in the framework. Assemble the project draft competency framework and get ready to start it.

Phase 2

Research and experiments that will lead to phase 3 and phase 4

Phase 3

product to engage and educate farmers to use innovations. It will be based on AI, machine learning, and the urge and want to use cloud storage and cybersecurity.

Phase 4

Delivery of the crop products, including resources needed and staff

Required:

Business case (document attached). The aim of the business case is to ask for seed money for phase one ONLY:

• developing a drone service like this one: https://taranis.ag/
• get the data into an interface (app, etc.)
• get farmers to be interested and engaged to use digital technologies
• provide farers with educational and training programs to get them engaged to use digital technologies such as the one above
