Further, Prof. Becker delivered a guest talk, titled, “Risks to Australia’s Biosecurity from the Trade of Ornamental Fish”. The talk which addressed the biosecurity aspects of Australian ornamental fish trade: their requirements and what they expect from 91´«Ă˝n ornamental fish exporters, was actively attended by officials from the Animal Quarantine Division, Colombo, senior officials from the Department of Animal Production and Health, Peradeniya and key figures of the ornamental fish export sector. Ornamental fish export industry is one of the most-thriving export trades in 91´«Ă˝ which attracts considerable amount of foreign currency to the country. Understanding and identifying the needs of the Australian ornamental fish trade is a prerequisite for 91´«Ă˝n ornamental fish exporters to become successful and to secure a better place in the global ornamental fish trade.

The world’s population is expected to grow up to 9.32 billion by 2050. The challenge of agriculture, at the onset of increasing world’s population demands the enhancement of global food security. Internet of Things (IoT) in urban agriculture has designed as an enabling technology to equip famers and food producers with the knowledge and expertise on utilizing the urban bioresources for optimal food production.

The IoT based agriculture system has designed with the capability of real-time monitoring the farmlands. The hallmark of these systems is the sensor mediated automated monitoring system with continuous remote access to monitor the field conditions through IoT Analytics Platform. This smart farming sensor-based technology would be the next revolution of precision agriculture towards the sustainable food production.

With the aim of engaging innovative cutting-edge technologies to expand our research capabilities, FUAB has started a research collaboration on the development of IoT based smart farming technology with OREL Corporation Pvt Ltd and signed a Memorandum of understanding (MOU) on 3^rd August 2022. This collaborative project was initiated by Dr Surani Chathurika, senior lecturer, department of urban bioresources with Dr Rangika De Silva, Director of innovations, OREL (Pvt.) Ltd.
