E-Agriculture in action: drones for agriculture

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are playing an increasing role in addressing problems faced by agriculture. The challenges faced by agriculture from climate change alone are enormous and the need for the farming communities to adapt and become resilient is key to feeding the world’s growing population. Harnessing the growth and transformative potential of ICTs provides a tremendous platform not only for addressing some of these challenges, but also for accelerating efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

The FAO-ITU E-agriculture strategy guide (available at http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5564e.pdf) is actively being used to assist countries in the successful identification, development and implementation of sustainable ICT solutions for agriculture. This framework takes a multi-stakeholder process in developing ICT for agriculture solutions.

This publication is the second in the series titled E-agriculture in action (2016), launched by FAO and ITU, and builds on the previous FAO publications that highlight the use of ICT for agriculture such as Mobile technologies for agriculture and rural development (2012), Information and communication technologies for agriculture and rural development (2013) and Success stories on information and communication technologies for agriculture and rural development (2015). The ultimate aim is to promote successful, scalable, sustainable and replicable ICT for agriculture (ICT4Ag) solutions. This publication, E-agriculture in action: drones for agriculture, is a step in that direction and is based on a willingness to share knowledge and experiences from various countries and partners.
