In the 2022/2023 edition, the US taught 5 of the 30 courses offered by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA) within the framework of the Competence Center for Agri-Food Digital Training:• Digital tool for goat management: facilitates technical, economic and environmental management from the computer through more informed decisions through of a computer tool designed by staff from the University of Seville.• Field practice with AI and drones in extensive tree crops: allows you to experience the possibilities of the future in first person by experimenting and building real solutions with these technologies.• Artificial intelligence in agriculture : how artificial intelligence revolutionizes agriculture? It shows basic concepts and reveals how to apply AI to automate tasks and improve production efficiency.• Data processing for irrigation scheduling: in the context of drought, optimizing water is critical. Teaches how to process and interpret dendrometry and canopy temperature data to schedule irrigation more efficiently, improving yield.• Drone management in precision agriculture: improve crop yields by making the most of drone technology. Practical introduction to obtaining data with drones to monitor the health of crops, determine precise doses of phytosanitary products, create maps of inputs per plot or make information on agricultural machinery compatible. The Competence Center is an ambitious and necessary initiative to improve agri-food competitiveness . Combining online classes with practical sessions, it has demonstrated high effectiveness in promoting the adoption of digital technologies among professionals in agriculture, livestock and specialized technical advice, who receive resources, training and practical tools for free.
