By comparing satellite readings with massive data sets from ground sensors, as well as the ample historical record, researchers are building statistical models to better predict which locust nests pose the greatest risk https://t.co/QX8WpJIaMe 👇

[Tristan Eagling @TeaglingDFID]

The technology and pesticides to tackle desert locust stayed stagnant for decades. Great to see much needed progress and our #UKAID funded ‘attack drones’ mentioned. @rwomivan @AstralAerial @OchiengVio @FrontierTechHub.
