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.

The country has adopted hydroponic farming a method that involves growing crops in a controlled environment using nutrient-rich water instead of soil. This technology helps local farmers grow crops more efficiently, reduces water usage, and provides year-round food security.

The government has also launched Initiatives to provide farmers with access to information and resources.

Farmers have also been trained to use new technologies.

Information centres have been established where farmers can learn about best practices for crop management and other relevant topics, reports The Bhutan Live.
