GEN Z AS FARMERS: Revolutionizing the Future of Farming Through

Agricultural 4.0

The seminar "GEN Z AS FARMERS: Revolutionizing the Future of Farming

Through Agricultural 4.0" was launched as part of the 56th anniversary of the UP Society of
Agricultural Engineering Students. It was held on October 28, 2022, via zoom and Facebook
live, where youth from throughout the country gathered to promote the identity and image of
farming as a profession.
Agriculture 4.0 Philippine Farming, Soilless Agriculture, Drones in Agriculture,
Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (AI and IoT), and Renewable Energy
Technology are the five segments of the seminar.

OBJECTIVES:
This seminar's aims are as follows:

 Developing modern knowledge in our agriculture to further improve our skills.

 Encourage all participants to enter the farming sector and become agricultural
advocates in our country.
 To be knowledgeable of the agricultural condition in the Philippines.
 to introduce Agriculture 4.0 to participants in order to adapt them to modern
farming.

The current President of the UP Sages Mr. Danny Fronda opened the seminar with
opening remarks. He began by acknowledging individuals who were a part of such an
occasion, then he introduced the aims or aspirations of that seminar and last he presented the
guest speakers who would provide information or knowledge to the participants.
Engr. Christian T. Cabardo worked as a Program Specialist, Knowledge and
Technology Transfer, at the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and
Research in Agriculture (SEARCH) and Emerging Innovations for Growth. He spoke on
Agriculture 4.0 and Philippine farming as a guest speaker. In his entire talk, he explains the
evolution of farming through current technology, which will be addressed by the next
speaker.

Dr. Walter Valdez is the Professor and Campus Director of Bataan Peninsula State
University's Abugay Campus. His presentation is about Soilless Agriculture. "With the
reduction in soil fertility owing to intensive farming and climate change, we need a more
sustainable alternative to assure food security," he says.
Drones in Agriculture Crop monitoring, surveillance, spraying, and irrigation are all
tasks that drones can handle it discuss by Engr. Erwin Quilloy was a University of the
Philippines Los Baños Assistant Professor.

Today, artificial intelligence and the internet of things are both on the rise. As they
become more widely used, consumers expect to be able to access their data from anywhere,
anytime. This new technology helps us to bridge the gap between food demand and supply.

Dr. Arthur Tamabong, FPSAE, was a Professor III Visayas State University and the
author of the E-book ABE Board Exam Reviewer in three volumes, as well as the book
Biogas Plant Design. We may establish self-sufficient food production systems by utilizing
renewable energy sources such as sun, wind, hydro, and biomass. It may also be gathered
indefinitely and produce the energy required for the creation of food, water, and other
essentials of life.
Therefore, agriculture is an essential element of our daily lives, but it is also
undergoing constant change. Agriculture 4.0 is changing the face of farming by introducing
new practices that will make high-yield farming more accessible to both farmers and
consumers. This lecture taught me that agriculture farming is thoroughly evolved in
agriculture 4.0, and it is important to comprehend how we handle situations as Future
Agriculture Engineers.
