A few years ago, a farmer could only helplessly look at the sky, praying for rain or sunshine. Today, thanks to technology, he becomes a strategist, not a victim. The new trend is Weather-as-a-Service, or microclimate management as a service.
And among the key tools are drones that make rain.
Modern agricultural drones can not only survey fields and apply fertilizers. The new generation is equipped with systems for atmospheric effects:
This allows you to artificially stimulate rain or reduce hail risks exactly where the crop needs it.
In 2024, Sichuan provincial authorities tested a fleet of 30 drones to sow silver iodide during a drought. The result: rainfall increased by 17%, and farmers saved their rice crop.
The UAE has been running a government drone program to irrigate desert farms for several years. In 2023, more than 200 flights were made, which allowed raising soil moisture levels to optimal levels for tomato and date plantations.
Weather Modification Inc. has introduced a service where farmers sign a contract and receive a guaranteed “window” of rain or hail protection. The technology is already in use in Texas and Kansas.
📌 Value for Ukraine: not just adaptation to the climate, but active management of it, which can save entire regions from economic losses.
Rain-making drones are not science fiction, but a new tool in agrotechnology. They turn weather into a manageable resource, and the farmer into a strategist who can plan not only the crop but also the climate beneath it.
💡 Technology rules the sky. It’s time for Ukraine to rule its future.
The Institute of Nanotechnology and Organic Products “Avelife” improves the methodology and creates modern tools and products to increase crop yields, restore soils and water bodies.
On June 20, 2025, the head of the Institute of Nanotechnologies and Organic Products “AVELIFE”, Timur Levda, attended a fundraising consultation meeting held at the “France” Hotel in Vinnytsia.
In a world where every third banner screams “eco!”, the consumer no longer believes words. He wants to see. Feel. Be immersed. And this is where immersive marketing begins.
