On this occasion, Dr. Andri Prima Nugroho will present material on "Implementation of Smart Farming to Increase Agricultural Production Efficiency Supporting Sustainable Food Self-Sufficiency." This topic is highly relevant in addressing the challenges of modern agriculture, such as limited resources, climate change, increasing food demand, and the need for production efficiency.
Smart farming is a technology-based agricultural approach that leverages sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, data analytics, and automation systems to support more precise decision-making. The implementation of these technologies is expected to increase productivity, improve the efficiency of agricultural input use, and promote the sustainability of the national food production system.

Through this activity, it is hoped that stronger collaboration will be built among universities, government, industry, and communities in developing agricultural technology innovations that can support the realization of sustainable food self-sufficiency in Indonesia.
The seminar is open to academics, researchers, students, practitioners, extension officers, and the general public who have an interest in the development of agricultural technology and smart farming innovation.
