the “introduction to drones in agriculture’ learning activity</a>. This self-learning activity is intended to increase the appreciation of drones to members and followers of the e-Agriculture Community of Practice (CoP). This update provides a brief summary
of the events in week 1.</p>
<p class="rtejustify">That week saw participants juggling between different types of content webinars, dedicated pages, recorded content, YouTube videos and WhatsApp discussion group. This variety of content spiced up the learning approach as it was designed

<p><strong>Webinars</strong></p>
<p>This week we had three webinars, an opening webinar session with facilitators and webinar with Matthew Barre from SLANTRAGE on airborne agriculture analytics and last one with Mariacarmen Ruiz from FAO Panama on community monitoring of forests in indigenous
territories in Panama.</p>
<p>The webinar by Matthew Barre, overviewed SLANTRANGE's approach in analysing data collected by drones.Drone-based imaging and analytics are proving to be a powerful tool to provide new insights to agronomists and farmers in crop research, breeding, and production.
