This is a must learn course ,it has an advanced takeaway in how GIS can be used in the agricultural sector and practically implement in the practices which will lead to its defined productivity. It also helps in integrating the agriculture related information and data in geographical practices .GIS can broadly be used in effective planning and development of water availability estimation and also in rainfall analysis and irrigation schedule. It is useful both in short-term and long-term planning and development practices and in managing resources sustainably.

The Graphical Search GIS course was incredibly insightful. It provided me with a deep understanding of how geographic information systems can be used to enhance decision-making through spatial data analysis. The practical exercises allowed me to explore GIS tools and techniques, helping me gain hands-on experience in conducting geographical searches and creating meaningful visual representations. I found the content engaging and applicable to real-world scenarios. The course also introduced various software platforms, which broadened my knowledge in the field. Overall, it was a valuable learning experience that has strengthened my GIS skills for future applications.

This course has explored various ways of how GIS technology has been integrated and how it will be used to improve agriculture decisions and policymaking. GIS technologies shows methods for the analysis of spatial factors that affect agricultural production as compared to approaches where geographically explicit data are absent.
If well exploited, the spatially integrated knowledge provided by GIS can be applied to enhance agriculture policy and evidence-based interventions geared towards improving agriculture sustainability. Though GIS technologies provide a promising pathway for improving agriculture practices, they remain underexploited in many LMICs where a dire need for enhancing agriculture and food production practices is most needed.

Gis enables farmers understand their geographical mobility of their land and enable preparation land as they await rains.
Drought management and risk assessment plays a very important role in the whole planning and harvesting management.
They is still a issue of pest management which causw serious havoc to the farmers
Joseph Johnson

Enriching indeed and the course gives a full background of the role of GIS in agriculture and the future of technology in farming

All lectures were quite a good thing to try out. The topics are pretty essential too. GIS is an important technology that should be used by majority of people concerned with agriculture and those depending on agriculture which means each one of us must do steps required for betterment of our mother nature. Over the years I learnt a lot about agriculture and it's different aspects GPS and GIS are the one them which are needed to be considered more seriously and we should change our acts accordingly. Thanks!!

Dear Ag Mooc Team Members and the Professors,

I am pleased to thank you very much for this course content, which is precise and technically a professional one. I have learned the importance of GIS essentials and its applications in the Agricultural sector. GIS, which is very essential and to be used in integrated latest mode to service the main basic agricultural sector.
As a Finance professional, I have now understood the course technically too for the better understanding of the benefits derived from GIS applications and recommendation of the same for the successful immediate implementation in the respective sector to conserve the natural resource and to attain food security for the sustainable future developments.
I liked the entire course contents and the lectures...
Thank you so much...
With sincere love and affections...
