Drones and Geographical Information Technologies in Agroecology and Organic Farming Contributions to Technological Sovereignty
Massimo De Marchi, Alberto Diantini, Salvatore Eugenio Pappalardo
Abstract
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. Technologies used in precision conventional farming to reduce environmental impacts in the yield paradigm can take other directions. They can improve the multiscale approach of agroecology promoting alliances between farmers and citizens, connecting food networks whether through proximity urban farming or asserting land rights in remote areas. This book explores new paths of agroecological transition and organic farming 3.0.
