    • Agro_Communication

      Welcome! This course is designed to show you how you can enhance agrometeorological communications. Effective communication is key to ensuring that agrometeorological information is used appropriately in the agricultural sector. Communication is not an add-on or negligible element of agrometeorological services, but rather it stands as an indispensable core. The deficiency of a robust communication strategy can lead to late information receipt, misunderstanding of received information, misinformation, inadequate information and ultimately limited use of available information.


      This course comes with a certification badge!

      Once you have completed all 6 modules and passed the Final Assessment, you will be able to download the badge. You will receive an e-mail notifying you of your success with instructions on how to access the badge.


      If you have any trouble opening the course modules or hearing the narration, please use the contact form at the bottom of this page.
