Introduction The agriculture industry globally is undergoing a big transformation due to the innovation of smart farming solutions such as the deployment of drones. Smart farming makes agriculture profitable because the operation is autonomous. The introduction of smart farming has been necessitated by the rising demand for food, diminishing resources, and the reduction of manual labor in the agriculture sector. Agriculture has quickly become a high technology sector and new companies, professionals, and investment bodies are quickly joining the sector (Bartsch et al., 2016). The advancement in technology will increase agricultural production. The introduction of drones in agriculture is expected to solve the problem of the shifting structure of the workforce in agriculture. The aging demography globally has also triggered the introduction of drones to supplement the dwindling workforce. The consumption of agricultural products is expected to rise tremendously due to the rapid increase in the world population. The only solution to this imminent challenge is the increase in agricultural production, which will have to be effectively achieved through the adoption of the latest technology. The solution is, therefore, the introduction of drones that have advanced data analytics that are capable of providing real-time images from the agricultural field (Coppola et al., 2020). Individuals, organizations, and governments have realized the need for smart agriculture due to its economic benefits. Automated Drone Technology Unmanned aerial vehicles or drones are growing in popularity at a tremendous rate. Although they are still in the infancy state in mass usage and adoption, they have already broken the rigid traditional barriers in areas that seemed difficult to penetrate through such technological innovations. For the past few years, drones have been playing a major role in the operation of different organizations and have managed to transform the industries that were either lagging or stagnant. They are proving useful because they can perform duties in an efficient and timely manner. Besides efficiency, drones have improved productivity and reduced the workload and the cost of production (Ehrenberg, 2018). Furthermore, drones have improved accuracy and refined service delivery. Drone technology is a great innovation that has continued to have huge positive effects on today’s society. Technology has transformed the way business is done. Drones have been in existence for slightly more than two decades, and their origin can be traced to the First World War when the United States and France tried to develop unmanned aircraft. However, the last ten years have been important in the adoption of drones in different fields. Whether drones are controlled, accessed through an app on a smartphone, or controlled by a remote, they have the capability of reaching areas that would be very difficult for people to reach. They require a little amount of effort, energy, and time (Gonzalez-Aguilera & Rodriguez-Gonzalvez, 2017). This is one of the reasons why they are being embraced and adopted in the agricultural field worldwide. Agricultural Drones The penetration of drones in the agricultural sector has increased crop production, agricultural operations, efficiency in water and chemical sprinkling, and monitoring crops in case of ill-heal
