Vietnamese rice farmers in the Mekong River delta are embracing agricultural drones to revolutionize rice farming practices, reducing the need for pesticides and fertilizers that harm the environment. With drones, farmers can automate tasks like seeding, spraying, and fertilizing fields, cutting labor in half. The transition to drone technology has been met with some resistance, but many farmers have seen significant benefits in terms of efficiency and reduced exposure to harmful chemicals. While the rise of agricultural drones may lead to concerns about job displacement and potential accidents, they are seen as a crucial tool in increasing food production to meet the growing global demand.
