GIS and Spatial Analysis in Digital Agriculture

GIS and Spatial Analysis in Digital Agriculture is a hands-on seminar introducing the use of geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial data to support smarter, more efficient agricultural decision-making. The main aim of the seminar is to equip participants with an understanding of how spatial analysis tools can be applied to land management, crop monitoring, precision agriculture, and environmental sustainability. Topics include spatial data collection, mapping of soil and crop variability, satellite and drone imagery, yield mapping, and decision-support systems.

The seminar is intended for: farmers, agricultural workers, agronomists, advisors, students and teachers in agriculture, environmental sciences, or geospatial studies, and interested members of the general public. No prior GIS experience is required; concepts are introduced from a practical, applied perspective.

Enrolment deadline: No deadline.
Assessment / submissions: No assessment.
Fees and financial aid: The seminar is free of charge. If fees apply in future offerings, financial assistance or discounted rates may be available for students and small-scale farmers.

Learning outcomes: After completing the seminar, participants will understand core GIS concepts, be able to interpret and use spatial data for agricultural planning, identify variability within fields, support precision farming decisions, and apply spatial analysis tools to improve productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental outcomes in digital agriculture.
