Sustainable Food Systems & AgTech Certification

The Sustainable Food Systems & AgTech Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests sustainable food systems and agtech — food security and the SOFI report, the food system's share of emissions, land and water use, livestock methane and diet shifts, the EAT-Lancet planetary health diet, regenerative and climate-smart agriculture, soil health, precision agriculture, sensors, drones and data, controlled-environment and vertical farming, alternative proteins, food loss and waste, supply chain traceability and deforestation-free sourcing, and farmer livelihoods and equity — written to FAO, UNEP, EAT-Lancet, CGIAR and IPCC guidance for 2026 and 2027. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Sustainable Food Systems & AgTech certificate (SOA-SFSA). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Climate-smart agriculture and food systems research (CGIAR), The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN), AR6 Synthesis Report (IPCC) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Food Systems and Sustainability (Food security, Emissions and resources and Diets and health); Sustainable Farming Practices (Regenerative and climate-smart farming, Soil health and Livestock and inputs); Agtech and Innovation (Precision agriculture, Controlled environment and Alternative proteins); Supply Chains, Waste and Equity (Food loss and waste, Traceability and Livelihoods and equity). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.
