Course overview
This short course will teach you revolutionary farming methods using cutting-edge technology.
By regulating factors like temperature, humidity, light, and nutrient levels, controlled environmental agriculture enables year-round cultivation of crops, regardless of geographical location or climate.
This method fosters sustainable agriculture practices, reduces water usage, and minimises the need for pesticides and herbicides, offering a promising solution to food security challenges in an ever-changing world.
You will learn about technologies such as hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponics that optimise resource usage, minimise environmental impact, and maximise crop yields.
You will learn
- Plant growth for a variety of environments
- Basic theory of hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics
- Sustainable practices
