Opis

Drones, GPS, mapping, satellite images, GIS and WebGIS are geographic information technologies that assist in the evolution of healthy agroecosystems and facilitate the agroecological transition. Precision conventional precision farming technologies to reduce environmental impacts in the yield paradigm can take other directions.
