О курсе

Explore how design thinking and human-centered design can transform digital agriculture. In this course, you’ll learn how to identify unmet needs, empathize with stakeholders, and co-create innovative solutions for real-world challenges in agriculture. Through the lens of design thinking, you’ll be introduced to the tools and mindsets used to develop meaningful, user-centered technologies that serve farmers, researchers, and agribusiness professionals alike. You'll begin by developing a foundation in human-centered design mindsets and methods. From there, you’ll explore how digital technologies like precision agriculture tools and AI are reshaping food systems. You’ll learn to apply design thinking to these technologies—moving from problem framing to ideation, prototyping, and testing. Along the way, you’ll consider ethics, sustainability, stakeholder communication, and data storytelling. You’ll gain strategies to make complex digital tools more usable, equitable, and scalable within diverse agricultural communities. Whether you're in agtech, policy, research, or education, this course equips you to design with people—not just for them.
