About Us
Our Mission
The Precision Agriculture Special Interest Group ( PA SIG) has been formed to inform and encourage the adoption of the latest technology at a farm and land level. To achieve this we are working with farmers and land managers, researchers, technology developers and educational institutions to create a forum through which collaborative innovation can occur and knowledge exchange to promote the adoption and uptake of technology and innovative solutions for land management to improve productivity and reduce carbon impact in our region.
