TEHRAN – The head of Iran
Agricultural Information Sciences and Technology (IAIST) Hussein Farazmand said the agricultural sector of the country will enter the world of metaverse to improve productivity.
Farazmand made the comments on the sidelines of the Iran Efficiency Exhibition, adding that the use of communications and information technology is one of the issues raised to increase efficiency and productivity in the agricultural sector.
In this regard, giant steps have been taken in the country to make the agricultural sector smarter, he said, adding that projects like smart irrigation and the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) are underway.
Farazmand pointed out that the first ‘metaverse’ platform in Iran’s agricultural sector was launched in cooperation with a knowledge-based company so that the agricultural and horticultural products of Iran’s Ministry of Agriculture can be presented on this virtual space.
It is also hoped that the agricultural companies of the private sector would supply their products in this virtual space as well, the head of Iran Agricultural Information Sciences and Technology (IAIST) stated.
