The increased use of drones for sectoral and societal purposes can be observed in the EU. Also in the field of agricultural production, drones are used in the EU, whereby to different extents across the Member States because of environmental, socio-economic, and also regulatory framing conditions. While the use of drones can bring advantages to agricultural production, e.g. to collect data on crop conditions, it also goes along with risks emanating from the use of the unmanned vehicle itself, or the activity it is carrying out. For several reasons, e.g. a lack of cost-effectiveness, the potential of drones is not fully exploited by the agricultural sector in the EU.

A Coordination and Support Action to create and catalyze a forum for emerging interdisciplinary areas and new technological visions. These actions enable and support a broad range of participants to meet, mutually inspire, cooperate and develop together innovative ideas for future enabling technologies from early stages on. They will help the industry to navigate rapidly changing environments, for instance by actively transferring ideas and early technologies between players that would not normally interact, or by combinations of different foresight activities (short-term, long-term, cross-sectorial) to prioritize strategic directions while avoiding narrow visions for the future. |
