Forum e-Agriculture Learning Activity on the use of Drones in Agriculture and Rural Development – 16 to 27 October 2017
Exercise 1: Experience capitalization
Hi everyone, hope all is well. I have been struggling with this first exercise; unfortunately, I haven't had any experience with Drones in Agriculture, and neither has anyone in my circles. Sadly, the majority of drone owners that I've met use them and hire them out for recreational photography/videography i.e. weddings, music videos etc. So I guess the applications we are learning about here are either applied by organizations such as FAO, and Commercial Farmers with access to decent resources. I have asked some people in a slack community for drones for some of their experiences, and I'm yet to hear back from them. I am not sure how much standard drones cost, but I'm guessing the people who can afford them buy them with the intention of making some money back quickly...
