GPRC proposes a collaborative research initiative to explore challenges related to precision agriculture technology use and adoption in northern Alberta. Specifically, we are interested in advancing knowledge and uptake in precision grazing, adapting existing technologies for use in the northern growing zone, and addressing barriers to technology adoption in northern Alberta, including smaller farm size and income, lack of access to technical expertise, and cost and access isssues for grid-tied systems in the north.Partnering with local retailers and producers, GPRC will pursue the following research objectives:- Develop a hub for technical expertise and training capacity in PA and range management technologies which regional producers can easily access - Create capacity for student training in a range of disciplines (e.g.: electrician, instrumentation, business administration, agricultural science, computer science, etc.), which will support a regional workforce that is better equipped to install, operate and service these technologies - Tailor technology solutions to the unique geographic and socioeconomic context of northern producers

GPRC提出了一项合作研究计划，以探讨与北方阿尔伯塔精确农业技术使用和采用有关的挑战。具体而言，我们有兴趣提高精准放牧的知识和吸收，调整现有技术以用于北方种植区，并解决北方阿尔伯塔采用技术的障碍，包括农场规模和收入较小，缺乏技术专长，以及北方电网连接系统的成本和接入问题。与当地零售商和生产商合作，GPRC将致力于实现以下研究目标：-发展一个区域生产商可以轻松获得的PA和牧场管理技术方面的技术专长和培训能力中心-在一系列学科（例如：电工、仪器仪表、工商管理、农业科学、计算机科学等），这将支持区域劳动力更好地安装，操作和服务这些技术-根据北方生产商独特的地理和社会经济背景定制技术解决方案
