Cover Story: Modern agriculture demands eco-friendly techniques and tools with which to enhance food safety while minimizing environmental impact. Drones are gaining attraction in plant protection, and they offer safety as well as cost benefits through autonomous spraying, monitoring vast crop areas swiftly. Drones aid in biocontrol by precisely distributing beneficial organisms, improving effectiveness and reducing costs. Despite limited use in the Western Balkans, promoting drone adoption in agri-food is crucial. Legal constraints of drone usage in Serbia still need improvement. With evolving technology, precision agriculture and drone use are expected to rise, revolutionizing the region’s farming practices. View this paper
