Advances in Smart Farming for Agriculture and Aquaculture

HRD Corp will be introducing a service fee that will be imposed on HRD Corp registered training providers starting from 1 February 2021 as stated in Training Provider Circular no.3/2021. In line with the implementation of the service fee, HRD Corp has revised its terms and conditions for course registration. As such, the HRD Corp Claimable course registration process has been simplified to allow different types of courses to register. The changes in the process are as follows: Training providers do not have to provide complete course content. The minimum requirement for trainers is 1 (one) trainer only. No minimum for e-learning (self-paced) courses. The minimum total duration of the course is 4 hours. The actual claimable fee, training hours, type of training, and complete course information are subject to approval of each individual grant application. For seminars and conferences, there is no necessity to register all the trainers.

On completion of this course, participants should be able to: Apply the latest technologies and tools, including GPS, sensors, drones, and software systems for agriculture and aquaculture. Understand the use of advanced farm machinery and automation systems that improve planting, harvesting, and overall farm operations. Employ sustainable farming practices and precision agriculture to reduce adverse environmental impacts. Contribute to the achievement of specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
