General AgrifoodTEF shows the future of autonomous drones at Droneday 2025
Drones have become an indispensable part of modern agriculture. They offer a unique view of our crops and fields. But what can this technology really do today? And how autonomous are they?
Dutch-Flemish Agricultural Drone Day On Tuesday, November 18, 2025, AgrifoodTEF, ILVO, and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) are joining forces during Droneday 2025. From 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, we will showcase the most advanced applications for precision agriculture at the VDBorne Campus in Reusel (The Netherlands).
From spraying to autonomous flying During this event, we go beyond mere data collection. We will give live demonstrations of technologies that are already making an impact on efficiency and sustainability today:
- Advanced Spraying Drones: Watch the impressive DJI Agras T30 spraying drone in action.
- Drone-in-a-box (DIAB): We will demonstrate a system where a drone operates completely autonomously, performs inspections, and returns to its charging station on its own.
- Smart Sensors: Discover the added value of hyperspectral and thermal cameras.
- Data to Insight: We show how collected images are processed into concrete insights and task maps for your machines.
At this event, farmers, contractors, technology providers, and researchers can experience firsthand what the next generation of drone technology entails. The event is organized within AgrifoodTEF and the Interreg project 'Agri-Drone'.
Participation is free, but registration is mandatory.
