Eleven-video series equips agricultural professionals to understand, assess, and communicate AI in sustainable agriculture.
The Understanding and Communicating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Sustainable Agriculture toolbox is an 11-video, self-guided lecture series developed by the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources (CSANR) at Washington State University. Designed primarily for agricultural outreach and education professionals, the course provides foundational knowledge about AI technologies and their implications for sustainable agriculture.
The series covers defining and categorizing AI, machine learning fundamentals, the “4th Industrial Revolution,” technology adoption, risk perception, public understanding, trustworthy AI, and ethics. In addition to technical concepts, the training emphasizes communication strategies that help professionals engage stakeholders in thoughtful discussions about AI’s benefits, limitations, and risks.
The course includes approximately 2.5 hours of video content and can be completed asynchronously. Participants may also earn 0.3 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through Washington State University and the Extension Foundation for a small registration fee.
