Abstract
Agriculture covers almost 40% of the Earth’s land surface and is essential to human survival. Farmers, however, face numerous challenges to maintain sustainable production. This work introduces an innovative, low cost and comprehensive solution to address some of these challenges. We designed and implemented a multi-functional agricultural drone with monitoring tasks to ensure crops are adequately watered, protected from pests, and monitored for fires. Our results show the potential to improve the effectiveness of small-scale farming operations.
