Will drones become the future of farming?



Pilotless drones have had the biggest impact on the battlefield, serving as eyes in the sky and even as attack aircraft. But could they find another role, helping farmers boost food production?
“Drones” are probably the most advanced equipment in the field of robotics, aeronautics and electronics. The technical name of drones is “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” . They are aerial vehicles which come in wide varieties of sizes, shapes and functions, which are controlled either by remote or control systems from the ground. They are generally used to carry out tasks in which manned flight is considered to be risky. Drones mostly find use in military services to spying or to protect.


These machines are too expensive, but scientists are trying to use these drones for agriculture. For example, GPS-guided tractors to automated milking machines. These farmers can make their job faster and more controlled, in fact they can produce more nourishment.

In my opinion, these drones have some advantages: are good for helping the farmers because this is a job where they have to work with the whole body and is very tired. Furthermore, drones could help people in other tasks such as finding missing people or spying traffic violation. But drones have its drawbacks. These engines could spy on our private life: spying a birthday in the garden or a naked bath in our swimming pool
