Agroecotechnology Public Lecture at UNIB Discusses Precision Crop for Climate Adaptation
Bengkulu, Wednesday, December 10, 2025 — The Agroecotechnology Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu (UNIB), successfully organized a public lecture entitled “Precision Crop: Precision and Smart Agriculture Design to Support Small-Scale Farmers in Adapting to Climate.”
The lecture featured Prof. Dr. Ir. Anas Dinu Rohman Susila, M.Si., Professor at the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University, as the keynote speaker. The event aimed to strengthen students’ understanding of modern agricultural technologies and their role in addressing climate change challenges.
Precision Crop as a Practical Solution for Farmers
In his presentation, Prof. Anas explained how precision crop and smart agriculture design can provide practical and data-driven solutions for small-scale farmers, particularly in adapting to climate variability. Precision agriculture enables more efficient crop management through the use of sensors, data analysis, and smart technologies.
The lecture emphasized that precision-based technologies can improve agricultural productivity, optimize input use, and enhance environmental sustainability. Students were encouraged to view technological innovation not only as a tool for large-scale farming, but also as an accessible and relevant solution for smallholder agricultural systems.
Hybrid Implementation with High Participant Engagement
The public lecture was conducted in a hybrid format, allowing participation both offline and online. Despite the hybrid setting, participant enthusiasm remained high. This was evident from the lively question-and-answer session, with active engagement from both in-person and virtual attendees.
Prof. Anas responded to participants’ questions with clear and comprehensive explanations, fostering an interactive discussion that continued until the end of the session. Many participants expressed satisfaction with the knowledge gained, particularly regarding the application of smart agriculture technologies to strengthen climate-resilient farming systems.
Strengthening the Agroecotechnology Academic Vision
Through this public lecture, the Agroecotechnology Study Program of FAPERTA UNIB reaffirmed its commitment to delivering learning activities that are relevant to global issues and technological advancements. The program continues to promote innovation, sustainability, and adaptive agricultural practices through academic enrichment activities.
It is expected that the insights gained from this lecture will inspire students to further explore research, innovation, and real-world applications in the field of precision agriculture and smart farming.
