Resource Efficiency Optimization with IoT (Smart Agro Hub)

Resource Efficiency Optimization with IoT is a practice-oriented seminar that explores how Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can be used to optimize the use of key agricultural resources such as water, energy, fertilizers, and feed. The main aim of the seminar is to demonstrate how connected sensors, smart devices, and real-time data analytics support more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective farm operations. Topics include soil moisture and climate sensors, smart irrigation systems, livestock monitoring, energy management, and data-driven automation.

The seminar targets: farmers, agricultural workers, agronomists, advisors, technology providers, students and teachers in agriculture, engineering, or environmental studies, and interested members of the general public. No prior experience with IoT systems or programming is required.

Enrolment deadline: No deadline.
Assessment / submissions: No assessment.
Fees and financial aid: The seminar is free of charge. In cases where a fee is introduced, financial aid or reduced fees may be available for students and small-scale farmers.

Learning outcomes: Upon completion, participants will understand core IoT concepts, be able to assess resource use on farms, select appropriate IoT solutions, interpret sensor data, and apply IoT-driven strategies to improve resource efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and enhance the economic sustainability of agricultural operations.
