Agriculture and food security programmes increasingly rely on satellite-derived indicators to monitor crop health and anticipate drought before it becomes a crisis; this course builds those analytical skills. Participants work with real vegetation index and rainfall datasets throughout.
This course builds practical GIS and remote sensing skills for agricultural monitoring, food security early warning, and climate risk analysis. Participants work with vegetation indices (NDVI, EVI) for crop condition monitoring, rainfall and drought index analysis using satellite rainfall estimates, and crop area mapping and basic yield estimation approaches.
The course also covers climate risk mapping - overlaying rainfall variability, temperature trends, and soil data to identify vulnerable agricultural zones - and building the seasonal monitoring bulletins that food security early warning systems depend on.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: Remote Sensing Fundamentals for Agriculture
Day 2: Monitoring Crop Condition with Vegetation Indices
Day 3: Satellite-Derived Rainfall and Drought Indices
Day 4: Mapping Cropped Area Extent
Day 5: Remote Sensing Approaches to Yield Estimation
Day 6: Building Climate Risk Maps
Day 7: Identifying Agriculturally Vulnerable Zones
Day 8: Producing Food Security Early Warning Bulletins
Day 9: Integrating Ground Survey Data
Day 10: Applied Food Security Monitoring Project
This course is for agriculture and food security professionals who need satellite-derived evidence to monitor crop health and anticipate drought before it becomes a crisis.
Participants who complete the ten days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, confirming their ability to apply GIS and remote sensing to agriculture, food security and climate monitoring.
Everything you need to know about this course before you register.
By the end of the GIS and Remote Sensing in Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change programme, you'll be able to monitor crop condition using ndvi and other vegetation indices, analyse satellite-derived rainfall and drought indices, map cropped area extent using satellite imagery classification, and apply basic remote sensing approaches to crop yield estimation. The full breakdown of topics is covered session by session in the Course Outline tab above.
