Submitted by Alice Van der Elstraeten on Mon, 10/16/2017 - 23:06

Yesterday we had already a question that could fit here: what is the difference between UAvs (imagery) and satellite (imagery) in terms of results? 

Monday 16 October: Opening of the activity

Welcome to the first day of the activity! Some of you have just participated in the live opening session - others can watch the recording soon on this page. 

How to post a comment and to subscribe to content: http://www.e-agriculture.org/fr/blog/posting-comment-e-agriculture-foru…;

Let us hear from you by posting a little comment here- to check if all is fine - or if you have any further practical questions - post them here! 

To have an idea of what our participants of today are expecting from the course I have collected some of the answers of the live webinar.

  • 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!
