In recent years, with the rapid development of digital agriculture, drones are playing a crucial role in the collection of big data and monitoring of pests and diseases in farmland; In order to solve the shortage of agricultural labor and improve planting efficiency, flight prevention and plant protection have also become an indispensable part of agricultural pest management. As of the end of 2020, the number of agricultural drones in China has exceeded the 110000 mark, and the annual flight defense area has reached 1 billion mu.
However, with the expansion of agricultural drone ownership and application scenarios, a large number of new pilots have joined, and the entire industry is also facing occasional drug damage incidents, illegal flight incidents, and safety incidents. The incident has attracted the attention of the public and farmers, and has also made industry leaders more aware that the prospects of the aviation defense industry are broad, but "safety" should become the cornerstone of industrial development. Taking precautions for the topic of "aviation defense safety" should become a consensus of the entire industry, and it is also a responsibility and commitment that the entire industry needs to shoulder together.
April 28, 2021, World Safety and Health Day.

The organizers participating in the initiative stated that the industry has a responsibility to ensure the safety of flying hand operations and the sustainable development of the natural environment. Next, members of the initiative will promote safety science knowledge to global pilots and related institutions through multiple channels, while providing safety related training and assessment certification.
Safety should become the cornerstone of flight defense
With the popularization of agricultural drones, flight defense has become a key element in agricultural production. Flight safety is not only related to industrial development, but also to sustainable agricultural development and ecological environment security.
April 28th is World Safety and Health Day. The purpose of establishing this commemorative day by the United Nations is to promote global prevention of occupational accidents and diseases, promote international attention to such issues, promote and establish a culture of safety and health, and help reduce work-related injuries. In April 2019, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security officially recognized drone pilots as professions. Flight safety has also become an important component of work safety.
25 units hope to use this global safety anniversary to launch joint initiatives to promote the importance of safe operations throughout the industry, guide all practitioners to pay attention to safety, jointly enhance the public image of the industry, and contribute to global agricultural development, environmental sustainability, and ecological environment security.
Joint Initiative Enterprises in Action
Each of us has a responsibility to prevent work-related injuries. Every enterprise and organization has a responsibility to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. And plant protection pilots also have a responsibility to work safely in the workplace, protect themselves, not harm others, understand their rights, and participate in the implementation of various preventive measures.
In 2021, the National Agricultural Technology Promotion Service Center issued a notice on organizing public welfare training on scientific and safe medication for tens of thousands of new professional farmers and plant protection drone pilots in 100 counties. Under the guidance of this notice, Qifei Intelligent will organize public welfare training through a combination of online and offline methods.
