Agriculture as the primary global food source, faces challenges like increased demand, food safety concerns and environmental sustainability. With the world population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, the demand for food and water is expected to rise significantly. Challenges such as limited arable land, declining farmer numbers and environmental issues underscore the need for innovative and sustainable farming solutions. To address these challenges, incorporating novel technologies such as smart agriculture. Among many emerging technologies which can provide solutions unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) often known as drones is one of the most recent innovations. It is also a non-human centric, transparent, evidence-based technology. Drones save the excess use of water, pesticides and herbicides maintains the fertility of the soil also helps in the efficient use of man power and elevate the productivity and improve the quality. Drones equipped with cameras and other sensors can provide farmers with real-time data on crop health, soil moisture and other factors that affect crop growth and yield. One of the key benefits of drone technology in agriculture is its ability to collect large amounts of data quickly and easily allowing farmers to make more informed decisions about how to manage their crops. Drones equipped with sensors scan crops using visible and near-infrared light to track crop health over the time and monitor response to remedial measures. This can be programmed to detect details such as NDVI, water stress or lack of specific nutrients in crops.
