INTRODUCTION
The course's main objective is to improve the technical team's abilities in the areas of weather analysis, farming, and food security analysis by teaching them how to use spatial and Earth observation (EO) data to creatively and meaningfully combine information about climate change, farming, and food protection..
COURSE OBJECTIVES
At the end of course participants should be able to:
- Recognize the core concepts behind GIS and remote sensing
- Apply RS and GIS to the construction of large-scale early warning systems.
- Comprehend concepts and frameworks used in food security analyses.
- Recognize concepts and key frameworks used in analyses of climate change.
- Understanding the fundamental principles of agriculture.
- Understanding the relationship between agriculture, food security, and climate change.
- Using GIS and Remote Sensing for Decision Support in Agriculture, Food Security, and Climate Change.
DURATION
10 Days
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The course targets people who require additional skills in remote sensing, climate change and the use of GIS.
