Drones and the Future of Farming | National Geographic

From driverless tractors to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), farming technology is rapidly evolving. Farmers can use drones to identify specific plants that are diseased or infested with bugs, to save water and resources, and to get a bird's-eye view of their crops.

Food and Flight, using drones to help farmers

[@BinjayMister]

Aw

[@bartbruni123]

This is awesome, we at Bruni IR crop surveys offer Precision Ag. services TO increase yield, minimize water pesticide and fertilizer usage. Our drone team has a state of the art drone that can fly 1,000 acres per HOUR all day if necessary an the F.A.A. waiver to fly it 25 miles Beyond Line Of Visual Sight. Nat Geo finds the best stories.

[@zab277]

Reminds me of Interstellar

[@mediamonarchyplus]

What if you get poor people to eat the bugs instead!

Fewer immigrants, fewer babies, a better way. Smaller population, tweaked to fit on "available" land (much of it in reserve for rich folks to tourist on), and we grow our own food, maybe to trade (I want oranges in Vermont), but seasonally. Cucumbers that don't rot two days after I buy them, berries that last over a month...I pick them myself. Yeah, I get Ricardo's Law: but food isn't money. Food is food.

[@repubnut2994]

Most of the food that is grown is exported overseas to feed the world. Immigrants work the farm not Americans. What planet are you from? Take a week off and travel America. You will gain insight to who really runs America... from technology to farming to finance. You will then understand why immigrants have always being important to America.

[@zudemaster]

Bullshit.

[@bluesteeltraining]

FAA is working to snuff this out. Big corporations like Amazon want hobbyists and anyone who is not working for a corporation out of uncontrolled class G airspace.

[@axeldeltour]

Les seules personnes qui regardent cette vidéo le font pour ce put*in de devoir d’anglais en ingé j’parie

[@valoneill416]

Insecticides! Pesticides this is not agriculture"s answer, just look at BIG AGRA! The solutions are in permaculture and sustainable farming.

[@repubnut2994]

permaculture will not feed the world. Get real!

[@casebogue6526]

Val ONeill I’m sorry have you ever farmed beofre

[@zackg2778]
