Ministry of Climate Change and Environment Completes Pilot Phase of Aerial Mapping of Agricultural Areas Using Drones
The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) has completed the pilot phase of a research project to map agricultural areas across the UAE using drones.
Aimed at facilitating the planning of future agricultural support services, the scheme will provide a wealth of raw data for analysis, such as the number and size of crop, livestock, and mixed farms as well as cooled and regular greenhouses, soil type and condition, crop diseases, and irrigation methods.
