Introduction to drones in precision agriculture

Enterprises University of Pretoria cordially invites you to the drone course. Securing our future through technology; increasing economic pressures on South Africa’s agricultural industry means that people are looking for a way to maximise production, cut costs and improve job security

Rather than being afraid of the changes that technology brings, they say we need to use it as an extension of our current skill-set; merging it with existing abilities and bringing in new visions for our future.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 21 global awards in the first six years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
