DESCRIPTION

L2B.07: Technology Innovation and Novel Fertilizers

Taught by: Adnane Bargaz, Munir Rusan, Michael McLaughlin

Fertilizers will increasingly be produced in an environmentally friendly manner and they will embody greater amounts of knowledge to control the release of nutrients to the plant. Innovation in fertilizer formulation will lead to environmentally-friendly fertilizers that maximize nutrient capture by the crop and minimize losses of nutrients.

L2B.04: Data drive – Crop Nutrition

Taught by: Steve Philipps

This class will delve into data-driven information which is used to improve on-farm decision making, different data types such as soil type maps, crop yield maps, soil fertility maps among many others, and their various uses.

L2A.15: From Secondary Sources to Recycled Fertilizers

Taught by: Mickey Vinocour

This class explores the transition from traditional to sustainable fertilizer production using secondary sources. Students will examine macro trends analysis on land and water pollution, ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions, geopolitical resource scarcity, and the inventory of secondary sources like agricultural waste and industrial by-products.

L2A.09: Ammonia Technology Roadmap

Taught by: Peter Levi

An increasingly numerous and affluent global population will lead to growth in ammonia production, during a period in which governments around the world have declared that emissions from the energy system must head towards net zero. This class provides an overview of the IEA’s Ammonia Technology Roadmap, released in October 2021.

L2A.05: Sustainable Ammonia Production – Part 2

Taught by: Gerardo Duarte

This class will go into the why the production of nitrogen-based fertilizers and fertilizers itself shall adapt to our changing world.

L2A.04: Sustainable Ammonia Production – Part 1

Taught by: Kevin Rouwenhorst

Introduction to new ways of ammonia production, its role in the future of energy landscapes and the technology to synthesize low carbon ammonia

L2A.02: Safety and Security in Production

Taught by: Jeff Dowson

This class will go into the elements concerning safety and security in production and why safety should always be the number 1 priority in the workplace.

L1.09: AI in the Fertilizer Industry

Taught by: Debasis Bhaumik

The class "AI in the Fertilizer Industry" discusses the rise of adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the fertilizer industry. This class explores how AI technologies are used in various domains within fertilizer industry thereby promoting sustainable practices. Students will gain an understanding of how AI is used to optimize asset health, automate operations, increase efficiency and productivity of people, and improve environmental monitoring practices.

L1.07: Global Agricultural Innovation and Investment

Taught by: Bob Morris

This class will go into the historical evolution, trends and drivers of the innovation and investment in global agriculture. It will also touch upon topics relating to plant nutrient value chains, ecosystem stakeholders and growth platforms.
