Femi’s work demonstrates the importance of adopting technology in modern agriculture, especially in the face of climate change. By equipping farmers to deploy drones equipped with multispectral sensors, IAP enables farmers to detect threats like pests and diseases before they cause significant damage. As Femi notes, “Drones can see what our eyes cannot see,” providing critical insights that help improve crop quality, increase yield, and streamline farm management.

Beyond providing technical advantages, Femi’s work is reshaping perceptions of agriculture, drawing young people into the field by demonstrating how modern tools can make farming innovative and sustainable. Through regular training sessions for farmers and aspiring drone operators, Precision Field Academy, an educational arm of IAP, ensures that this technology remains accessible, inclusive, and beneficial to farming communities regardless of their backgrounds

DevGlobal celebrates Femi’s recognition by CNN as an entrepreneur and innovator, underscoring his commitment to making drone-based agriculture mainstream across Nigeria and beyond.
