Modern farms and agricultural operations work far differently than those a few decades ago, primarily because of advancements in technology, including sensors, devices, machines, and information technology. Today’s agriculture routinely uses sophisticated technologies such as robots, temperature and moisture sensors, aerial images, and GPS technology. These advanced devices and precision agriculture and robotic systems allow businesses to be more profitable, efficient, safer, and more environmentally friendly. Show
Importance of Agricultural TechnologyFarmers no longer have to apply water, fertilizers, and pesticides uniformly across entire fields. Instead, they can use the minimum quantities required and target very specific areas, or even treat individual plants differently. Benefits include:
In addition, robotic technologies enable more reliable monitoring and management of natural resources, such as air and water quality. It also gives producers greater control over plant and animal production, processing, distribution, and storage, which results in:
NIFA’s ImpactNIFA advances agricultural technology and ensures that the nation’s agricultural industries are able to utilize it by supporting:

Apply now Course detailsThe Agricultural Technology major provides a broad agricultural background along with the necessary skills in data management and analysis, geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. You will learn how to integrate this information to develop strategies for agricultural and farming systems. About the courseLearn to develop effective, efficient and sustainable agricultural and farming strategies with the integration of data and technology. About the courseGlobally there is a critical need to produce food and fibre more efficiently and in a more sustainable manner. There are now rapid changes in the agricultural sector, largely due to developments in agricultural technology. This data-intensive technology has the potential to significantly increase production efficiency and reduce the environmental impact from agriculture; however, the key is making sense of the data and developing profitable and sustainable farming strategies. The Agricultural Technology major provides a broad agricultural background along with the necessary skills in data management and analysis, geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. In this major, you will learn how to integrate the information and make decisions within the context of our agricultural/farming system. Agricultural Technology Quick detailsLocations

Student story Ming ChuaAs predicted by the UN, the world population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. We need to find ways to intensify agriculture to meet our needs but at the same time look after the environment we live in. I want to change the world for the better and make a difference. The opportunity to pick up a second major in Conservation Biology (with advanced standing) gives me the knowledge required to understand the link between conserving the environment while achieving optimal output in agriculture. UWA is a world-class institution for Agriculture, with esteemed professors and researchers who provide us all the tools to excel. One thing I enjoyed most about my course was the opportunity to attend the 16th International Students Summit in Tokyo with a classmate. I made so many friends from top agricultural universities and I am sure we will be working together in the future to solve major agricultural challenges. Work Integrated LearningWork Integrated Learning (WIL) helps bridge the gap between theory and practice by providing opportunities for students to gain hands-on, practical industry relevant experience and for employers to help shape the graduates of tomorrow.
