Students in the farming communities learn how to use communication networks to send crop information to farmers.
The Youth ALRO Cyber Brain project is a significant mechanism in making agricultural project more sustainable, capitalizing on the fact that children are the successors of their parents and they will grow up to become a new generation farmers equipped with the knowledge and technology to implement agricultural innovations in their communities. The children thereby become the connection between the farmers and the schools.
“The idea behind this ALRO initiative is to make sustainable agriculture a success. The interaction between homes and schools is a must and thus, it’s better to mold them from childhood,” said National Electronics and Technology Center (Nectec) deputy director, Dr. Asanee Kawtrakul, who oversees the Smart Farm project, one of the Nectec’s three flagships, along with Smart Health and Digitized Thailand.
As research body, Nectec provides technology and tools for the community. However, in order to drive the Smart Farm more effectively, they have conducted two mechanisms running together- the “Youth ALRO Cyber Brain”, which empowers the community through the collaboration of homes and schools, and “Training for the Trainers” in which farmers work with government officials.
Currently, there are 11 innovative projects that the children take a major role in based on the collaboration between schools and communities, and four of them have been awarded a place in the Youth Farmers Conference this year.
