Digital Agriculture Education
As data continues to become more important throughout all aspects of society, skills in digital agriculture and data science are becoming “must haves” for the next generation of workforce in the agriculture, food, life, and natural resource sciences.
To reach its full potential, the success of digital agriculture is highly dependent on outreach and education. Through Extension, faculty, partnerships, and other digital agriculture advocates, the impact of digital agriculture will grow as new ideas and opportunities spread.
The College of Agriculture offers multiple opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to gain knowledge and skills in the area of data science and digital agriculture, as well as stakeholders across the state and beyond.
