dc.description.abstract	Agriculture is undergoing a quiet but radical transformation across the globe. Technologies once viewed as futuristic, such as drones, are rapidly becoming integral tools on modern farms. According to DJI Agriculture’s 2024 Agricultural Drone Industry Insight Report, over 300 000 agricultural drones are now in operation across more than 100 countries, contributing to higher yields, reduced chemical usage and notable water savings. However, in South Africa, the adoption of this technology in agriculture remains somewhat limited.	en
