Good opportunity

Successfully completed a six-week online course in Agricultural statistics. The main objective of this course was to explore the industry's key insights to develop a broader and deeper understanding and a strong comprehension of essential principles of data and statistics in agriculture, with an emphasis on used examples and possible impact, and to help learn forecasting approaches to boost production, efficiency, and competitiveness. Analysis methodologies using soft tools which helps farmers to boost their farm output. Topic emphasis: • Index Numbers & Forecasting • Forecasting Techniques in Agriculture • Analysis of VAriance • Regression Path Analysis • Multivariate Analysis • Stability and Sustainability Analysis #researcher #microbiologist

🌍📊 I'm excited to share with you an analysis of global food production in 2022 that I conducted using Power BI! 📈🍇 Using the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations database, I have collected and analyzed agricultural data from 20 countries to provide a clear and detailed view of the state of global food production. 🔍 What does this analysis reveal? -Detailed data on various crops and livestock products. -Definitions and international standards applied. -A clear vision of trends and challenges in food production. Power BI is a powerful tool with which I have been able to visualize and better understand this data. I would love to know how these insights can impact our decisions and strategies! 💬

With ag data getting a lot of attention with its agronomic and sustainability value, what will the catalyst(s) be that bring the data pipline together to make the decision making process easier and faster?

This book covers the theoretical and practical aspects of pest population components, explaining the probable reasons for pest density fluctuations and outbreaks in agricultural or other ecosystems. Agricultural pest management is a complex task that involves dealing with a variety of pests, including insects, diseases, and weeds. Decision systems can help farmers navigate this complexity by providing structured approaches to identify, monitor, and control pests. By making informed decisions based on data and models, farmers can reduce unnecessary pesticide applications, minimizing environmental impact and saving costs. This book aids in predicting pest outbreaks using population growth parameters and estimating economic crop losses through critical thresholds, illustrated with simple case studies. Additionally, the book covers image processing, remote sensing monitoring, and other novel methods for monitoring and quickly forecasting pest population outbreaks to develop integrated pest management (IPM) programs. The book is valuable for agricultural and entomological students (graduates and postgraduates), researchers, as well as pest managers and farmers.

hello connections 🙂, I'm excited to share that I've recently completed an online course on Agriculture Analytics Fundamentals. This course provided a strong foundation in applying data analysis to improve agricultural decision-making. #aganalytics #agriculture #datadrivenag #precisionag #onlinecourse

What is a farm? In the #AgCensus, a farm is any place that produced and sold, or normally would have sold, $500 or more of agricultural products in 2023. Producers, please have your farm records available for this vital data collection. Your cooperation is required by law, as this census is the only source of comprehensive and impartial agriculture statistics for the U.S. Virgin Islands. The data will show the value and importance of agriculture in the islands as well as trends, challenges, and other changes over the last five years. The ag census is Your Voice. Your Future. Your Opportunity. For more information, visit nass.usda.gov/AgCensus. A local representative will visit each farm to assist in the collection of these vital data. Please have your farm records available for your survey. For more information visit nass.usda.gov/AgCensus.
