Equipped with a mobile app and advanced drone surveillance, cattle farmers in Botswana can experience a significant improvement in their ability to monitor, manage, and protect their herds.
Cattle herding is a cornerstone of Botswana’s economy and culture, and this new technology will bring about a profound advancement in the lives of farmers in the Maitengwe area.
Thus, President (Dr.) Mokgweetsi Masisi is introducing a groundbreaking initiative in Botswana that will revolutionize cattle herding by using state-of-the-art drone technology, which can be managed simply through a smartphone.
“We are going to make a difference for our farmers by using new applications that are able to enter into their phones so that they can connect them to the drone,” President Dr. Masisi shared in an exciting update during a public hearing (kgotla) last week.
Through a mobile app on their smartphones, farmers will be able to streamline their day-to-day tasks by managing drones capable of doing the necessary surveillance.
Soaring’s intensive research and development delves into how to better substitute the human element in labor-intensive tasks, making processes safer and more efficient as a result. It is a mission to provide these ready-to-use solutions for all communities and groups in need.
This innovative approach will not only enhance efficiency but also address the challenges posed by cattle crossing into restricted borders, nearly 400 kilometers away in Zimbabwe.
As the net of connectivity expands within Botswana, accessibility to drone technology will be made simple for any farmer.
The initiative aims to bolster safety and efficiency for cattle herders in unfenced areas by providing accessible surveillance technology managed through a smartphone. Drones fit to take aerial imagery of lands used for grazing will be able to seamlessly monitor cattle movements and provide real-time updates to herders, eliminating labor-intensive tasks and better ensuring the well-being of the herds.
This technology will also empower farmers to manage their cattle’s daily nutrition and health, particularly in the face of climate challenges that impact their operations and supply to food. Soaring’s heavy-lift drones promote quick transport to far-reaching areas, capable of dropping off sustenance to a distant herd.
For communities with limited resources and manpower, this innovative technology presents a modern solution to traditional problems. It serves as a compelling testament to how modern technology, continually developed to be included in Soaring’s drones, can empower rural communities and unlock new possibilities for farmers in Botswana and around the globe.Post navigation
