AEC and KEC aims to train 20 Smart Farmers; 12 technicians, researchers and academicians; and 80 farmers from the experts within the SUNSpACe consortium to help them and others install and implement smart farming practices in Nepal.
Small and medium-sized farms, which build the majority of the global agricultural production, are traditionally slow in adopting the use of these innovative tools based on digital technologies for a number of reasons. This finding is more true in some Asian countries where farmers have not learned how to earn more money by producing and marketing their produce in a better way.
The objective of SUNSpaCe is to provide an Education and Training System to help Farmers understand the use and usefulness of the new technologies. SUNSpace offers an appropriate adaptive learning approach, tools and ready to use learning materials to be implemented in Smartfarm labs.
“Smart farm is a concept of adoption smart technologies to collect and analyse data on the overall value chain which farmers can manage and operate their farm in real-time and reuse of data comprising plants, animals and soil to improve the quality of food.”
