Phase 1: Scoping workshop - Real time decision support system for remote monitoring of crops (AS20006)
What was it all about?
In 2021, this short project examined key challenges affecting horticulture industries to inform a future investment into developing a real-time decision support system for remote monitoring of crops. Through a scoping workshop, grower surveys and 1:1 grower interviews, various problems facing horticulture growers were mapped out, discussed and prioritised.
Specific project activities included:
- Assessing technology gaps within industry and identifying ways to bridge these gaps.
- Understanding how data and smart farm technologies impact on-farm decision making.
- Exploring the role and potential impact of integrating smart monitoring tools for improved decision making.
- Reviewing the opportunities and likely impediments for the development and implementation of decision support systems into Australia’s horticulture industry.
The recommendations from this project will be tested in a second phase of the project that is currently undergoing contracting.
