USask offers new precision ag certificate program

Starting in the fall of 2023, the University of Saskatchewan (USask) will offer a new agriculture program.

The Precision Agriculture Certificate will provide students with the opportunity to gain knowledge and develop skills to manage crops in both production and sustainability.

This includes satellite imagery, global positioning and information systems, big data, yield mapping, management zones to understand what drives within-field crop yield variability from year to year.

The program will be housed in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources and will bring together USask students from AgBio, the College of Engineering, and the Department of Computer Science to prepare them to be part of the evolving area of ag tech.
