The Challenge
Over 70% of African farmers still rely on manual spraying — a process that's costly, unsafe, and inefficient.
Up to 40% of agro-inputs like fertilizers and pesticides are wasted due to uneven application, causing soil degradation, water pollution, and lower yields.
With food demand rising and land shrinking, manual methods simply can't scale to feed Africa's growing population.
Our Solution
We retrofit affordable drones with modular tanks and precision nozzles, powered by AI and NDVI mapping. Local certified youth operate the drones, bringing technology directly to communities.
NDVI mapping and camera feedback ensure inputs are applied only where needed.
Retrofit existing drones or use Luna's custom-built systems designed for smallholder farms.
Operated by certified young pilots trained by Luna Drones — creating jobs while improving food security.
