Climate-Aware Farming

Course Description

This micro-course helps teams apply AI to climate-aware decisions on the farm—from hyperlocal weather forecasting and adaptive risk planning to seasonal crop optimisation and carbon footprint reduction. Through practical, non-technical demos and checklists,
learners see how AI fits into day-to-day operations and sustainability goals.

Who Should Take This Course

Farm managers, agronomists, sustainability/ESG officers, supply-chain leads, extension advisers, and data-curious beginners in agribusiness. Ideal for organisations seeking a fast, practical upskilling module their staff can apply immediately.

Prerequisites

No prior experience needed. Basic familiarity with farm operations or spreadsheets is helpful but not required.
