Digital transformation is currently one of the key topics in agriculture. To shape agribusiness in times of change, professionals need a deep understanding of the sector and the underlying technologies.

Our course offers the necessary "big-picture overview" through a focus on common language and precise terminology. This also means that you will learn to distinguish between Precision Farming, Smart Farming and Digital Farming.

This certificate program will provide you with the required skillset, practical exercises and technological insights needed to become an expert in Smart Farming. A combination of online work and hands-on home exercises allow for a practical learning environment, while our use of peer coaching in combination with an on-site session in Freising near Munich open up an abundance of networking opportunities.
