Canterbury Farmers’ and Rural Professionals’ Perception of Drone Use in Environmental Management

TAG consultants, Dave Lucock and Sam Mander, provided the rural professional expertise in the Our Land and Water research project run by Lincoln University, titled “Canterbury Farmers’ and Rural Professionals’ Perception of Drone Use in Environmental Management”.

TAG have been using drone technology in the environmental management space working with farmers for the last three years. Drones have been a key tool used by Dave and Sam in their consulting work which has increased their capability to deliver optimised results on many of their projects associated with farm management. From the research conducted, it was great to have a better understanding as to how farmers felt about the use of the technology and what barriers might be present in their acceptable use.
