Certificate in Practical GIS & Remote Sensing for Agriculture & Environment

Turn Spatial Data into High-Impact Agricultural & Environmental Solutions.

In today's climate-vulnerable world, data-driven decisions save time, cut costs, and transform landscapes. This fast-track, practical incubator turns beginners and field professionals into competent spatial analysts — built around 100% free, open-source tools (QGIS, Google Earth Engine, Kobo Toolbox), so you can apply spatial tech anywhere without relying on expensive software licenses.

Key Highlights & Skills You'll Master

Mobile Field Data Collection — build custom digital survey forms with Kobo Toolbox/ODK and harvest georeferenced field data, photos, and farm attributes on your smartphone
Open-Source QGIS Mapping — import GPS points, digitize farm plot boundaries, layer satellite basemaps, and design print-ready professional maps
Satellite Remote Sensing & Crop Health — download Sentinel-2 and Landsat imagery to calculate NDVI, detect crop stress, monitor drought, and track plant growth from space
Terrain & Watershed Mapping — analyse Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) to derive slope, contours, and runoff paths for resilience design and soil/water conservation earthworks
Real-World Capstone Project — apply your skills to an actual regional challenge, from refugee settlement agroforestry mapping to community drought assessment

Who Should Enroll?

Agricultural Extension & Field Officers wanting to map project sites and monitor crop health
NGO & Humanitarian Staff conducting spatial assessments in refugee settlements or rural districts
Agronomists & Environmentalists seeking data-driven landscape restoration tools
Youth, Graduates & Researchers looking to add high-demand GIS skills to their CVs for East African job markets

Duration: 4 Weeks (80% Computer & Field Practicum / 20% Applied Theory)

Tools Used: QGIS 3.x, Google Earth Engine, Kobo Toolbox, Google Earth Pro, Smartphone GPS

Award: Certificate of Competency in Practical GIS & Remote Sensing, issued by Tsevett Agroservices
