Learn to build and trust predictive models for nutrient-dense food — and earn the first Certified Data Agronomist credential.
Start the free courseFree · six Foundation + ten Advanced modules · no statistics background needed
Data Agronomy is a free, 16-module course that teaches you to build, evaluate, and trust predictive models for nutrient-dense food production. You start with statistics and end with forecasts that real farms can act on — six Foundation modules to get your bearings, ten Advanced modules to make you fluent.
That gap is the subject of this course. Each module pulls one thread — soil biology, mycorrhizae, near-infrared spectroscopy, statistical modelling — and ties it back to the same question: what, exactly, makes one carrot more nourishing than the next?
If you grow food, advise people who do, or set the rules that shape what they grow, this course is yours. No statistics background required for the Foundation level. The Advanced level assumes you finished the Foundation — and nothing more.
Each module pairs short editorial reading with one interactive exercise and a graded quiz. Finish the six Foundation modules and you earn the Foundation Certificate in Data Agronomy. Finish all ten Advanced modules and you carry the title Certified Data Agronomist — the first formal credential in the field.
Modules span soil biology, mycorrhizal networks, the 200-fold antioxidant variation within the same crop type, regenerative practice, near-infrared spectroscopy, and the statistical modelling that connects farming systems to health outcomes — each drawn from Vitagri's Growing Health Report and 19,000+ peer-reviewed studies.
