Farms of the Future

The NSW DPI has taken the initiative to provide teachers with a wealth of educational resources for students studying the Agriculture elective in the HSC curriculum. The aim of these resources is to provide a hands-on, interactive experience for students, giving them a glimpse into the exciting world of modern agriculture and the innovative technologies being used in the field. The 3-part webinar series is an engaging and interactive way for students to learn about the latest advancements in agriculture, from the comfort of their own classrooms.

The virtual farm tours in VR provide students with an immersive experience that takes them inside the workings of a modern farm, giving them a chance to see the innovative technology in action. The interactive maps and live data sensors provide students with real-time information about the commercial farms, allowing them to see how the technology is being used to improve crop yields, increase efficiency and reduce waste. This information is invaluable in helping students understand the importance of using technology in modern agriculture and how it is helping to shape the future of the industry.

The lesson plans, webinars, VR tours and interactive maps are all designed to complement the HSC Agriculture elective and provide students with a well-rounded education in the subject. These resources are a must-have for any teacher looking to engage their students and help them gain a deeper understanding of the exciting world of agriculture. With the focus on sustainability, the NSW DPI is showing students how farming for the 21st century is about more than just growing crops, it’s about using innovative technologies to protect the environment and ensure a sustainable future for all.
