Increasing the Level of Management Efficiency: Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Monitoring Pasture Lands

Abstract

Increasing the level of efficiency of land use management of pasture lands is one of the most important modern problems in the context of the agro-industrial policy of Kazakhstan. Using the method of content analysis of scientific literature, the authors analyze the utilization state of the unmanned aerial vehicles in agriculture, as well as the possibilities of their use for monitoring pasture lands. The authors assess the possible economic benefit of using this technology for land management. To assess the feasibility of using unmanned aerial vehicles for monitoring pasture lands, a SWOT analysis is conducted. The results of the study allow concluding that using unmanned aerial vehicles for monitoring pasture lands leads to an increase in the level of land use management by providing a wide range of opportunities and achieving an economic benefit for all agricultural production entities.
