Training Description

This microcredential will equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to support agricultural professionals in adopting economically sustainable practices that also reduce their carbon footprint. 

Informed by the latest research and best practices, participants will select agrologist-led practices and technologies that are not only economically sustainable but also environmentally conscious. These transformative strategies will enable agrologists to guide their clients and stakeholders towards a greener, more resilient, and economically viable agricultural future.

By the end of this training, participants will select comprehensive agrologist-led practices and technologies that support the three priorities of climate-smart agriculture:  

  • Sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes
  • Adapt and build resilience of people and food systems to climate change 
  • Reduce and/or remove GHG emissions, where possible 

Successful completion of the microcredential will require participants to:

  • Evaluate relevant climate-smart agriculture practices and technologies in the context of a farming operation
  • Justify choice of agrologist-led practices and technologies to improve operations’ adaptive resilience and lower carbon footprint 
  • Apply principles of economic analysis (i.e. cost-benefit analysis) to support the selection and adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices and technologies
  • Propose a farm-specific climate-smart plan for chosen practices and technologies

This microcredential will equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to support agricultural professionals in adopting economically sustainable practices that also reduce their carbon footprint.
