As technology continues to influence the way we live, work and farm, smart farms and technology development have a critical role to play in the global grand challenge of feeding a growing population with fewer resources while reducing the environmental impact. The Olds College Smart Ag Ecosystem is accelerating the progress and innovation needed to grow Canada’s ag industry — and the Olds College Smart Farm is at the heart of it all.
There are seven pillars of the Smart Ag Ecosystem at Olds College of Agriculture & Technology that are fundamental to the success of the Smart Farm — a true ecosystem where producers, industry partners, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), students, and faculty can collaborate and work towards advancing agriculture.
