About This Course
Sustainable Agriculture: LCA, Remote Sensing & Optimization combines three tools for greener farming. You learn to assess the environmental footprint of agricultural systems with life-cycle assessment, monitor crops and land with remote sensing, and apply optimisation to balance yield against resource use and impact. The course integrates measurement, observation and decision-making into a coherent approach to sustainable agriculture. You finish able to reason about assessing and optimising a farming system for sustainability. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
