About this programme
This course builds practical capacity in the use of GIS and remote sensing technologies to support precision agriculture and advanced crop monitoring. It focuses on transforming spatial and satellite data into actionable insights for improving productivity, optimizing inputs, and strengthening data-driven farm management.
Participants gain hands-on experience in crop mapping, vegetation analysis, yield monitoring, and precision input planning using geospatial tools. The course emphasizes practical applications for smallholder and commercial farming systems, supported by real agricultural case studies and applied exercises.
