The drones, combined with the blockchain and the AI, change agritech.
What if drones, AI and blockchain could reshape the way we feed the world – starting in Malaysia?
This vision becomes reality thanks to an Agritech initiative which integrates drones, artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology.
In an effort to support sustainable agriculture and technological innovation, Farmsent, DroneDash and Skyx have announced a partnership to launch an advanced agritech network covering more than 490,000 acres of palm plantations in Malaysia.
This collaboration creates a plan for modern agriculture which is effective, sustainable and participative on the global scale.
What is under the hood: drones, blockchain and has at the forefront
Imagine autonomous drones mapping large plantations, in deployment of agrochemicals with punctual precision, all guided by data verified in real time and verified in blockchain.
Farmsented introduces tocorious blockchain soil sensors that continuously monitor critical soil nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These sensors provide real -time data, allowing precise and timely fertilization strategies, ensuring optimal nutritional application to the exact locations required.
Thanks to tokenization, these sensors become assets within the global web3 community, allowing world participants to invest and actively contribute to sustainable agricultural practices. These sensors use predictive AI modeling to anticipate nutrient needs, allowing highly optimized fertilization strategies and considerably increasing sustainability.
DroneDash plays a central role, rationalizing the deployment of drone technology for targeted agrochemical applications, thus improving the effectiveness of the use of pesticides and fertilizers. This optimizes not only the use of resources, but also minimizes environmental impact, protecting ecosystems surrounding agricultural areas.
Dronedash’s Drone Agritech
The dronedash drone fleet is not only high technology – it is cost reduction, reducing the use of chemicals and maximizing efficiency.
Completing this technology, Skyx has advanced hyperlocal weather stations. These stations capture detailed and hyper-precision climatic data, measuring variables such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind direction, wind speed and air pressure. This level of granular detail provides invaluable information that allows farmers to make proactive and data -based decisions, improve crop yields and resilience against climatic uncertainties.
In addition, each technological component deployed – including sensors and weather stations – is awarded a unique blockchain identity via the PEAQ blockchain platform. This strategic integration of blockchain technology creates decentralized opportunities for global participation, allowing individuals around the world to invest and engage directly in agricultural innovations by tokenization.
Yog Shrusti, co-founder of Farmsent, commented to me that “it was not only a question of integrating technology; it is a question of fundamentally reshaping the way in which we approach agriculture in Southeast Asia. By allowing farmers to practice unprecedented lasting practices and to optimize grafts.

Overview for drones, AI and blockchain: why it matters
More than 25% of the world’s population and more than 40% of global agricultural production are strongly based on an extraction of unsustainable groundwater. Traditional agricultural methods often lead to significant ineffectiveness and environmental challenges, requiring innovative solutions to respond permanently to the growth of food demands.
The agricultural drone market alone is expected to reach USD 7.6 billion by 2028 depending on the markets and markets. By integrating drone technology into daily agricultural operations, FarmSense, DroneDash and Skyx lead to substantial reductions in the use of critical resources, potentially reducing water, pesticides and fertilizer consumption up to 50%.
Paul Yam, CEO of DroneDash explained to me that “It is not only technical integration – it is proof that decentralized technologies can solve real problems, create real value and generate real benefit for communities and investors.

The practical impact of these innovations is immediate and tangible. Farmers equipped with real -time analyzes and precise climatic information can considerably improve productivity and efficiency, while considerably reducing environmental fingerprints.
This combination positions Malaysia at the forefront of global innovation in Agritech, serving as a reference for other countries with which similar agricultural and environmental challenges are faced.
Integration of AI: empower predictive agriculture
AI is the intelligence engine behind this transformation – transforming raw data into predictive ideas in real time on which farmers can act.
AI -centered analyzes incorporate real -time sensor data, historical environmental information and images collected by drones, offering farmers exploitable information on current and future agricultural conditions. These predictive analyzes allow farmers to anticipate culture health problems, optimize resource allocation and implement proactive rather than simply reactive measures.
Each season, the system becomes smarter – yields, cutting costs and farms to the test of future. This continuous improvement means that the accuracy and efficiency of interventions increase regularly, optimizing agricultural results and improving the efficiency of resources.
The integration of the AI ensures that data -based ideas are accessible, practical and adapted to local conditions. Farmers can receive personalized recommendations, allowing more effective responses to specific agricultural challenges and ensure a direct positive impact on the performance and sustainability of crops.
Integration of blockchain: strengthening transparency, efficiency and community engagement
The blockchain is not only for transparency – it unlocks new markets. Each drone, sensor and station becomes a verifiable and investable digital asset.
Each drone, floor sensor and weather station is awarded a unique digital identity via the PEAQ blockchain, creating an unchanging and transparent operations, maintenance and data output recording.
This means that agricultural operations are no longer black boxes. Investors, regulators and farmers can follow the performance of contributions to real time. With transparent follow -up, stakeholders – from local farmers to international investors – can check the authenticity and precision of the data generated by each device.
Overall profits of this new drone, AI and blockchain platform
Frank Fang, the co-founder of Skyx, explained it when he said: “Although the agricultural industry has long been based on generalized weather forecasts, we are witnessing a fundamental change towards hyperlocal accuracy which can make the difference between a profitable harvest and significant losses.
Skyx does not provide for the weather – they token it, letting anyone invest in the infrastructure of climate intelligence.
Blockchain also facilitates decentralized governance models, where stakeholders collectively make decisions, aligning incentives and promoting collaborative management of shared resources. Such participatory governance guarantees an equitable distribution of advantages and risks, encouraging prolonged investment and participation of the world communities.
Why is this combination of AI and blockchain important for all of us?
It is not a regional pilot – it is an evolutionary model. With the organization of food and agriculture (FAO) predicting a 70% increase in global food demand by 2050, the adoption of advanced technologies such as drones, sensors and blockchain is not only beneficial – it is essential.
For consumers around the world, these technologies promise increased sustainability and potentially lower food prices by increasing agricultural efficiency and reducing waste. More sustainable practices directly contribute to healthier environments and ecosystems, by responding to urgent global environmental concerns.
Investors and participants in the global economy benefit substantially through the blockchain tokenization, which opens up new paths for a direct investment in the booming agricultural sector. By democratizing access to agricultural progress, individuals worldwide can actively participate and benefit financially from sustainable agricultural innovations.
Summary of advantages
This partnership illustrates the power of technology to meet critical global challenges, advancing a vision of agriculture which is not only productive but also equitable, resilient and sustainable.
