Dalhousie University is launching the Atlantic Institute for Digital Agriculture (AIDA), an institute that will serve as a regional hub supporting precision and digital agriculture in Atlantic Canada. AIDA’s work will be organized around four pillars: precision agriculture; robotics, automation, and AI; data-driven management; and human-computer interaction. Dal experts, including faculty and students, will support the sector by ensuring that tools are designed with Atlantic Canada’s needs in mind. “AIDA creates a single point of entry for partners who want to test new ideas, develop technologies and work with us to grow a more resilient agricultural economy,” said Dal AVP Research and Innovation Dr Graham Gagnon.
