How technology, supported by AI, is enabling new crop-spraying techniques making them more efficient than ever

A great article from the Economist how technology (AI and the like) is already generating a big impact in the agriculture industry. In this specific case it relates with pesticide spray onto crops, where in the past the % that was lost without any impact was huge. This new methodology can cut the amounts of sprayed pesticides by more than 90% with direct impact on the economics of the industry and the overall environment. How advanced technology and AI can generate a significant positive impact to the agriculture industry, thus to the overall economy, thus to the wellbeing and standards of living. Happy readings!
