Inquiry on Smart Farming: Designing a Greener Tomorrow

On the 2nd week of November, IB DP Year 1 students have come together to work in an interdisciplinary project regarding sustainable agriculture practices. The collaboration was done between the Group 3 subjects: Digital Society, Economics, Business Management and Environmental Systems and Societies. The students worked hard to conduct research and find real world examples and create different presentations regarding the various prospects of sustainable agriculture and its advancements. Sustainable agriculture is a big step for sustainable development, which prioritizes meeting the needs of this generation without compromising the next, so by studying this topic we got a better understanding of the current situation and the scope of improvements.

 


The Digital Society students focused on what existing technologies are helping agriculture be more sustainable and efficient, including case studies of different farms around the world.

Economics students studied how the demand of agricultural goods can be predicted by understanding price elasticity and therefore the efficient allocation of limited resources can be done, making any loss of goods be limited.

Business management students designed a marketing plan that would help promote the proper practices.

Finally, the ESS students discussed how effective these efforts would be.

 


In my group, I worked on the Economics section and I would say it was a good learning experience working with them. I got a good insight on what they were learning as well. It's important for us to understand that if we don't start taking care of the environment now, it will heavily affect us in the future. Hence, this project was great for raising our awareness as well as improving our understanding of that. Altogether, a great learning experience on a proactive global project and also great for getting feedback from teachers and peers in presentation skills.

TOK Presentation

  On 16th and 17th our TOK Facilitator, Mr. Sajid conducted a practice session for the upcoming TOK Exhibition in May. The TOK Exhibition is crucial in DP, especially in the first year. It contains one third of the overall TOK grade and TOK is a core component in IB. It is essential that students are well prepared for the exhibition.   For the practice session, we did not do the full run through of the exhibition. For this practice session we only had to pick one object for the prompt and theme, instead of three in the actual exhibition. We had to create a display for that one object and present it to the class and our DP Coordinator.   This has been incredibly helpful for the students, because it gives us an idea of what prompt and theme we will choose. We can see if we are comfortable with the object and are good at explaining the prompt or theme. The presentation also gave us a gist of how it will be like when we present our objects in front of a huge audie...
