Orange Jordan has announced the launch of its 5G agriculture boot camp, which aims to highlight the role of novel technologies, including 5G, IoT, and AI, in supporting sustainable agriculture.
In the boot camp, experts are set to share global best practices for addressing the agricultural sector’s challenges.
The boot camp, running for two months, will convene engineers, subject matter experts, entrepreneurs, and innovators to gather to discuss the ways that technology can impact sustainable agriculture.
It was shared that in the Jordan Valley and Wadi Araba regions, due to their arid nature, desert locusts are a particular challenge. These locusts lead to the destruction of crops, lowering agricultural production and food security in Jordan and the region.
During an intensive training session over three days a week, a group of experts will provide training workshops on several crucial topics such as innovation, digital manufacturing technologies, user experience, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and 5G.
This training program focuses on building the participants’ capabilities to combat the desert locust invasion through technology and will come up with innovative ideas that will be showcased during the closing ceremony.
