Bhutan: Farmers using GPS, advanced technologies to modernize agricultural sector
Bhutan is trying to modernize the agricultural sector of the country by using upgraded technology which include application advanced drones and GPS to monitor crop and soil health.
Farmers here are determined to manage their crops more effectively using precision agriculture, which lets them make informed decisions about crop management, increase efficiency and minimize waste, reports The Bhutan Live.

Farmers have also been trained to use new technologies.
