- learn more about drones, which is completely new to me
- interested to learn more about precision agriculture and how drones are used
- to network
- to get a feel of new developments in the use of drones in agriculture
- learn from experiences with using drones
- drone experts who want to learn about how they are used in agriculture
- learn how drone tech can benefit rural (east) African producer organizations and how they need to organize themselves towards accessing these services
- understand the role of drones in the agriculture in general, and the data obtained from drones in particular
We have also taken note of the different technical questions and we will post them under the topics of the different upcoming days!
