Drones could well change Asian agriculture. These aerial vehicles can be controlled from the ground, and have received a great deal of attention for their ability to do work that is dangerous or tedious for farmers
![The New Face Of Farming](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/717/263368/5ab1f2f5a7cea/The-New-Face-Of-Farming.jpg)
In Asia, rice crops and livestock have been culturally significant agricultural assets for millennia, and across the region traditional farming methods, unchanged for centuries, are still being used. But all this is set to change as these age-old systems are displaced by the use of drones. One report put the global value of the agricultural services and labour being replaced by drone-powered solutions at over USD32 billion in 2016.
As early as the 1980s, Japan integrated drones into rice farming in rural areas that had few farm workers due to the aging population. Today, tasks like spraying pesticides, which are detrimental to farmers’ health, can be handled by drones. At places like Ichikawa Farm in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, drones are already being used for organic crop dusting and recording factors such as crop growth.

The Karakoram Anomaly Decoded
For decades, scientists have believed that glaciers in the Karakoram Range are defying the trend of those across the globe-resisting glacial melt due to human-induced global warming. But as we trek up the Karakoram's second-longest glacier in July, as the United Nations announces the world's hottest ever month on record, does the melting ice beneath our feet suggest the so-called Karakoram Anomaly is slowing? Or is there a ray of hope it will continue to delay the inevitable?
