Training on GIS and Remote Sensing in Agriculture, Food Security, and Climate Change
Course Overview
This course equips participants with practical skills in applying GIS and Remote Sensing technologies to agriculture, food security, and climate change adaptation. Participants will learn how to collect, manage, and analyze geospatial data to monitor crop conditions, assess agricultural productivity, and evaluate climate-related risks affecting food systems.
The training covers crop mapping, vegetation analysis, drought monitoring, land suitability assessment, and climate variability analysis using satellite imagery and GIS tools. Participants will gain hands-on experience in integrating spatial datasets to support evidence-based agricultural planning, resource allocation, and resilience-building strategies. Emphasis is placed on using geospatial technologies to strengthen sustainable land management and food security programs.
Through applied case studies and practical exercises, attendees will explore real-world applications in agricultural extension, climate adaptation planning, and food security monitoring systems. By the end of the 5-day course, participants will be able to design GIS-driven workflows that enhance agricultural productivity, improve early warning systems, and support climate-smart decision-making.
