According to the Massachusetts Institute for Technology, drone-powered applications for the agricultural arena have skyrocketed to result in a market that is currently valued at more than 32 billion dollars. Drone technology is growing at a hyper-accelerated rate to keep in line with the growth of the global population, which is now projected to exceed nine billion people by the year 2050.
Analysts estimate that the projected global population increase will result in agricultural consumption growing in tandem at a rate of seventy percent.
