The Fiji National University (FNU) is forging stronger international connections to enhance agricultural education and practices. In a recent meeting with Pakistan’s Ministry of Industries and Production, led by Dr. Isimeli Tagicakiverata, FNU explored innovative educational opportunities. The discussions centered on integrating smart technologies such as drones and artificial intelligence into agriculture education.
FNU representatives toured advanced farming operations in Pakistan, observing modern tools including driverless tractors. These insights are intended to inspire local farmers in the Pacific, aligning with FNU’s mission to improve agricultural methods and education.
The partnership also includes plans for joint research dedicated to advancing smart farming techniques and enhancing agricultural teaching methodologies. Pakistan’s Minister, Haroon Akhtar Khan, expressed his support for this collaboration, which is poised to establish FNU as a leader in education and agriculture in the Pacific region.
This initiative underscores FNU’s commitment to leveraging global advancements to address local challenges in farming, showcasing a hopeful future for agricultural innovation in Fiji. With such partnerships, FNU aims not only to enhance educational standards but also to empower local communities, paving the way for sustainable agricultural practices in the Pacific.
