Training on GIS and Agriculture Applications
Course Overview
This course equips participants with practical skills to apply GIS and remote sensing in modern agricultural systems. Participants will learn how to collect, manage, analyze, and visualize spatial data to support precision farming, soil assessment, crop monitoring, irrigation planning, and sustainable agricultural management.
The training covers soil mapping, land suitability analysis, vegetation indices, crop health monitoring, irrigation network mapping, and spatial decision support for farm management. Participants will gain hands-on experience using GIS software and agricultural datasets to improve productivity, optimize resource use, and strengthen climate-smart agriculture practices.
Through applied case studies and practical exercises, attendees will explore real-world applications in agribusiness planning, food security programming, and rural development strategies. By the end of the 5-day course, participants will be able to design GIS-based workflows that enhance agricultural efficiency, improve decision-making, and support sustainable land management.
