IMPROVING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY USING MODERN DRONE TECHNOLOGIES WITH INTEGRATED LIDAR AND GIS
Abstract
Global agriculture is currently operating under severe pressure, as the population is growing, climate change is intensifying, and natural resource degradation is deepening, which directly increases the risks to the stability of food systems. The problem of water resources is becoming particularly acute, as the areas with water shortages for agricultural production are predicted to expand, and therefore there is a need for more water-saving technologies and intelligent irrigation management.
