Precision Agriculture
The Precision Agriculture Research Group (PARG) is a multi-disciplinary team of academic, research and technical staff engaged in the development and application of sensors and practices in precision agriculture. Our staffs come from diverse backgrounds and are based in numerous academic Schools across the university. The group, initially formed in 2002, runs numerous externally-funded research projects involving organisations such as the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information (CRCSI), Grape & Wine Research & Development Corporation (GWRDC), Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA). PARG is well equipped with some of the latest (including newly developed) sensors and positioning technology for conducting fieldwork. We are committed to industry-led research and research-led teaching. We value our extensive network of end-user collaborators and strive to maintain a line of sight to fit-for-purpose solutions. Our undergraduate, as well as postgraduate research students are exposed to the latest, as well as tried and true methodologies and technologies available for crop, pasture, and more recently livestock management. UNE also offers Australia's only dedicated Graduate Certificate in Precision Agriculture.
