Macadamia farmer using smart agriculture

The project, situated on an 80-hectare campus, uses 50 hectares for macadamia cultivation, with the rest for academic purposes and general agriculture. Despite challenging weather conditions and soil erosion, the project has successfully produced high-quality macadamias, which are entirely exported. The project employs sustainable practices such as mulching, integrated pest management, and water-efficient irrigation to combat climate challenges and promote biodiversity.
