Episode 172: “Farms Of The Future: Innovation in Agriculture" w/Dr. Joy Agnew
In this week’s segment, we are launching the first episode of our "Innovation in Agriculture" limited series.
To launch the series, we have Dr. Joy Agnew from Olds College speaking to Tracy about developing the “Farms Of The Future.”
With their College mission of "Transforming agriculture for a better world”, Joy shares how everything they do at Olds is done to advance all aspects of the agriculture industry.
In this episode, Tracy and Joy discuss:
- Why and when Olds college decided to place a strong focus on agriculture tech and data?
- The importance of ag-tech and data as it relates to producers and the industry.
- Their three-pillared approach to ag-tech and data includes educational opportunities, their Smart Farm, and their AgSmart ag-tech event.
- Joy expands on these pillars. The College provides training for farmers and industry, the Smart Farm tests new products and solutions, and then the AgSmart event brings these innovations to the field for the agriculture industry to learn about and witness in action.
