AI Summary
This bill aims to promote scientific research and development opportunities for connected technologies that advance precision agriculture capabilities. It directs the National Science Foundation (NSF) to include in its sensor systems and networked systems programs research and development on sensor connectivity in environments of intermittent connectivity and computation to improve the reliable use of advanced sensing systems in rural and agricultural areas. The bill also updates the NSF's Advanced Technical Education Program to consider applications that incorporate distance learning tools and approaches for precision agriculture technology. Additionally, the bill requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a technology assessment of precision agriculture technologies and review federal programs that provide support for precision agriculture research, development, adoption, education, or training.
