EUCpESS-ICPEP holds webinar on agricultural technology
The Enverga University Computer Engineering Student Society-Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines organized the webinar “From Fields to Future: Technology in Agriculture” via Google Meet on April 14 to help 61 members understand how emerging technologies can address challenges in modern farming.
The webinar featured resource speakers Roselyn Maaño and Pedro Jose De Castro, who discussed innovations that support a smarter and more accessible agricultural sector in the Philippines.
De Castro shared examples of existing solutions, including agricultural drones for precision spraying, IoT-based smart farming systems, and farmer-centered mobile platforms for government services.
The speakers also discussed AI-driven predictive analytics for crop planning, blockchain-based traceability systems, smart irrigation and real-time pest detection devices designed to reduce crop loss.
Organizers said the activity aimed to inspire participants to contribute to the future of agriculture through innovation and technology.
The program gave students a broader understanding of how scalable technologies such as machine learning and satellite monitoring can improve efficiency, strengthen food production and support Filipino farmers.
Through the webinar, EUCpESS-ICPEP encouraged computer engineering students to apply their technical skills to real-world agricultural needs and innovation-driven community development.
The activity reflected Enverga University’s core values of Excellence, Service and Mindfulness by encouraging students to use technology responsibly in solving practical problems that affect communities. It also supported outcomes-oriented education by helping computer engineering students connect their technical knowledge with agriculture, sustainability and national development.
