Tech I'd like to see: 'Vertical farming & drones in agriculture'

Concepts and technologies like vertical farming, use of drones and satellites have emerged as game-changers in agriculture over the last few years. Unlike legacy techniques, vertical farming is a technological approach that involves crop production using vertically stacked layers, thus optimising space usage.

Since it is carried out in a regulated environment, it delivers a consistent output, cuts labour cost, reduces water consumption, and drives energy efficiency.Drones and satellites have played a crucial role in improving the yield and minimising waste. They have revolutionised crop monitoring, as they provide farmers with real-time data about soil quality, crop requirements, susceptibility to pests, irrigation frequency, weather assessments, and more.Availability of such information enables cultivators to acquire and allocate their resources efficiently and plan all their upcoming activities effectively. With the overall population on the rise and the increasing demand for highquality produce, it is essential to use these modern techniques to make agriculture more sustainable.
