Maker Faire Rome 2023: Our experience with drones to innovate agriculture

Last Saturday, 21 October 2023, we had the honor of participating in the Maker Faire in Rome at the stand of the Cosenza Chamber of Commerce. This event represented an exceptional opportunity to share our experiences and the challenges faced in agriculture 4.0, thanks to the use of drones.

Agriculture 4.0 is a revolution in the agricultural sector, as it integrates cutting-edge technologies to make food production more efficient, sustainable and accessible. In this context, drones play a crucial role, allowing detailed data to be collected and significant improvements to be made in various aspects of agriculture.

At the Maker Faire, we had the opportunity to present our progress in using drones to monitor and manage crops. We have illustrated how these agricultural drones allow us to detect fundamental data, such as soil moisture, plant health, geo-morphological conditions and much more. This data gives us a detailed overview of crops, allowing us to make more informed decisions about resource management and crop planning.

Furthermore, we shared how the use of drones in agriculture has the potential to reduce the use of fertilizers, thus improving the agricultural ecosystem and reducing environmental impact. Drones also help us monitor crop growth more efficiently, allowing for more sustainable management of water resources.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Cosenza Chamber of Commerce for offering us the opportunity to participate in this extraordinary event. The collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce was fundamental in carrying out our mission to innovate agriculture in Italy while respecting the environment.

Additionally, at the Maker Faire we made valuable friendships and collaborations with other innovators and companies who share our passion for sustainable agriculture. These partnerships are essential to continue pushing Italian agriculture into the future, through innovation and environmental awareness.

Thanks to everyone who visited our stand and shared this experience with us. We look forward to continuing to work together to make Italian agriculture more sustainable, efficient and environmentally friendly.

Continue to follow us to stay updated on our initiatives and progress in agriculture 4.0. Together, we can build a greener and more prosperous future for agriculture in Italy and around the world.
