- Precision & digital, GlobalDrones in agriculture: changing crop monitoring and helping farmsDrones map fields, monitor crops, livestock and soil moisture and apply inputs precisely, though regulation, privacy, battery life and cost limit their use.
- Precision & digital, GlobalHow are drones being used in farming?Explains how farmers use drones for crop monitoring, weed detection, soil analysis and herd management, the main types of farm drone, and the limits of drone data.
- Precision & digital, GlobalThe role of artificial intelligence in agriculture, and how it is being used to improve crop yields and reduce costsExplains how AI is used in farming for precision input use, farm management, crop monitoring, soil analysis, yield prediction and livestock monitoring, and its limits.
- Precision & digital, GlobalDrones for crop monitoring and managementDrones carrying cameras and sensors help farmers monitor crop health, map fields and target water and fertiliser, though cost, training and regulation are hurdles.
- Precision & digital, GlobalThe use of artificial intelligence in agricultureAI is used in agriculture for precision farming, crop monitoring and yield prediction, livestock health and supply chains, though it raises concerns over jobs and data ownership.
- Precision & digital, GlobalNavigating drones in farming: balancing advantages and drawbacksDrones help farmers monitor crops, map fields and apply inputs precisely, but bring upfront costs, skills needs, short flight times, weather limits, regulation and privacy concerns.
- Precision & digital, United KingdomFrom space to field: how satellite NDVI analysis is helping UK farmers detect crop stress two weeks earlierExplains how NDVI readings from satellite imagery reveal crop stress before visible symptoms, which satellite services UK farmers use, and how to interpret images and check them on the ground.
