We sat down with David Yee, one of the instructors of our Automation and Digital Agriculture Specialist Program, to talk about the big picture for digital agriculture in Saskatchewan, and your career!
Sophisticated digital and robotic technologies are bringing change to farms, and careers in agriculture. Learn more about the paths opening up in agriculture across Saskatchewan.
The sophisticated tech taught in Palette Skills’ Digital Agriculture Specialist Program is exciting. But it’s worthwhile remembering that no matter what kind of technology is involved, agriculture is about food, and about people. So we sat down one of the program’s alumni to get at the very human side of the story.
If you’re an early adopter, there is probably no better time to think about a career in Canada’s agtech revolution. In response to many global and local pressures—including labour shortages, climate change, and even the rise of integrated value chains—the conventional approach to agriculture that dominated Canadian farms for decades is getting an upgrade, with a new focus on technology, sustainability, and precision.
Indigenous communities stand to benefit from the coming digital agricultural revolution because these communities have everything in place to lead this same revolution. With more and more young and skilled citizens ready to embrace technology and entrepreneurship, the task will be to make sure that leaders in agriculture understand the need to work closely with Indigenous communities and concerns.
