ARE THE FUTURE FARMERS FLYING FARMERS?

Use of robots, drones, and satellites in agriculture . 

Today's agriculture has transformed into a high-tech enterprise that most 20th-century farmers might barely recognize. Self-driving machinery and flying robots able to automatically survey and treat crops will become common place on farms that practice what's come to be called precision agriculture. The ultimate purpose of all this high-tech gadgetry is optimization, from both an economic and an environmental standpoint. This thematic workshop will point out and showcase different solutions that are on the market, ready to be used by farmers worldwide.
