    I recently finished the course, and I'm flabbergasted by the swift and easy-going lectures that illuminated me from the pitch-black corner of the deep and unknown to me the various means GIS can be used in different aspects and crannies of life's struggles and survival, especially in agriculture, from the production of crops, irrigation, fertilization of crops, and so much more. I'm really blessed and favored to have studied this course. My advice to upcoming readers is to dip their fingers into the jar of knowledge using GIS. Thank you.

    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.
