Overview

“This course will provide key knowledge about remote sensing in agriculture, crop monitoring, and advances in disease detection.

 

The use of drones for precision agriculture can significantly increase yield, adapt fertilizers and agro-chemical doses to crop needs and provide tools for better agronomic decisions. All this fosters a product with better quality and a more environmentally friendly footprint.

 

Drones have proved to be an effective, economical, and flexible tool for remote sensing applications. Agriculture is the world’s largest industry, employing more than one billion people and generating billions of dollars worth of food annually. The world population is projected to reach 10 billion people by 2050 so it presents an urgent need to increase global food production. This makes inevitable the global adoption of precision agriculture.”

  • Ian Asige Mweresa

    Senior Remote Sensing Technician at RCMRD
    Kenya

    This course helped me appreciate drone technology much more. I interacted with users of drones from all around the world and was fascinated by the amount of work people have put in using drones for aerial mapping, cargo delivery and many robotic applications for the benefit of humanity.

  • Ramon Vilar

    Barcelona

    Jordi Santacana, in addition to being the best pilot in the world, is a simple and warm person. Professors Albert and Marc are great professionals who have helped me learn all the concepts of the course in an excellent way. And the instructor-student relationship has been unbeatable. It is noticeable that they are experts. I completely recommend BCN Drone Center, it is the best center to learn to fly.

  • Dr. David Strohschein

    Harvard Professor
    United States of America

    The course was well worth my time. It provided a great opportunity to learn about modern UAV system design and operation; UAVs are much more than R/C aircraft and deserve special consideration. Considerable time was allocated each day to flying aircraft on the simulator and flying a small UAV on site.
