ICT in agriculture – reality and need


INTSIKT is an annual international symposium, with a long tradition, where industry, academia and government institutions exchange knowledge and experiences in the area of information and communication technologies. The symposium is traditionally organized by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering University of Tuzla, Faculty of Electrical Engineering University of Ljubljana and BIT Center Tuzla.

Rapid developments of information and communication technologies bring momentum to all aspects of the economy, education and everyday life. This year we would like to bring an attention to role of ICT in the green transformation of the society. Energy and agriculture as two sectors in which GREEN TRANSFORMATION makes huge changes were especially discussed during the symposium.

Faculty of Electrical Engineering at University of Tuzla successfully implements Erasmus + project VIRAL that targets ICT application in agriculture. Nowadays, this topic becomes crucial and InTsikt 2022 gives a lot of attention to it.

The following topics were presented within the section “ICT technologies in agriculture”:

1. Prof. dr. Alisa Hadžiabulić, Agromediteranean Faculty, University Džemal Bjedić Mostar, “Tools developed for knowledge transfer on the use of IT in agriculture“
2. Vladimir Radovanović, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, “SCALEUP4EUROPE – AGTECH LAB“
3. Prof. dr. Mihajlo Marković and MSc Milan Šipka, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Banja Luka, “Application of Geographic Information Systems for assessment of land resources suitability for cultivation of agricultural crops“.

Within the Student Section, the works of students from the Polytechnic Faculty of the University of Zenica and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Tuzla were presented. The winners of the Hackathon competition organized last year and this year within the VIRAL project were presented within this section.
