Survey | Digital twin use in agriculture

Federation University Australia is conducting research for a PhD project titled “Transforming agribusiness with digital twins”.

Digital twins are used in agriculture for remote monitoring, resource optimisation and predictive analysis, creating virtual replicas of farms or individual crops to improve efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. They integrate real-time data from sensors, weather systems, and satellites to help farmers optimise sowing programs, manage irrigation and fertilizer use, and monitor soil health. Digital twins can also predict problems like pest infestations or disease outbreaks, allowing for proactive intervention and reducing crop loss.  

This study aims to understand the use of digital twin technology in agriculture, as a decision support system to manage crops and uptake of nutrients focusing on nitrogen.

Insight from farmers and/or farming businesses is being sought to assist with the research project. Simply click the following link to participate in the 10 minute survey: https://federation.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eEegFLqr3QA2t0y
