‘Agriculture 4.0’ takes root in Southeast Asia

The agriculture sector in Southeast Asia is being influenced enough by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4ID) for “Agriculture 4.0” to be established in the region, with the Asean Cooperation on Agricultural and Bio-systems Engineering (ACABE) and the Asean Universities Consortium on Food and Agro-based Engineering and Technology Education (AUCFA) providing the platform for more technology and knowledge- sharing

Philippine Society of Agricultural and Bio-systems Engineers (PSABE) President and Asean Engineer Aldrin Badua said that the country’s agriculture sector can benefit greatly from ACABE and AUCFA, with his organization already providing forums and trainings to help farmers in the Philippines benefit from 4ID trends.
