Abstract

The potential impact of the climate change is less clear at regional scales, but it is likely that climate variability and change will increase food insecurity in areas currently vulnerable to hunger and undernutrition. The situation is severe but with optimization in the agriculture changes can happen. Via less fuel used by machinery farms can reduce the carbon-dioxide emission, also with optimal pesticide and herbicide pulverization the amount of chemicals can be reduced, which has direct impact on the quality of food, and the quality of life. This paper foresees a cooperative method for global warning of farmers about spreading diseases or swarming insects on the fields. Drones with autonomous flights can reduce the time spent for inspection, also can gather big amount of precise data from the terrain. The data can be used for precise interventions, for global defense against threads, and to get a better view of the agrar world.
