Microsoft, FFA Expand Smart-Farming Education To All 50 States
Microsoft and the National FFA Organization are taking FarmBeats for Students nationwide, teaching students sensors, data science and AI.
What happened
On May 6, Microsoft and the National FFA Organization announced that FarmBeats for Students will expand to all 50 states. The programme uses smart sensors, data science and artificial intelligence to teach students about farming and technology.
Why it matters
The expansion likely means students nationwide will gain access to training in technologies increasingly linked to farming. It could broaden the pipeline of future farmers and agricultural workers with practical exposure to sensors, data and AI.
