This recognition underscores XAG's significant contribution to advancing inclusive, climate-smart, and sustainable agriculture, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals like Zero Hunger, Responsible Consumption, and Climate Action.

XAG's innovative technology is used globally, with notable applications in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, Turkey, and Zambia, where it improves yields, reduces input use, and tackles pests like the fall armyworm.

In Vietnam, drones are employed for spraying and spreading to boost yields and cut input costs; in Turkey, the Autopilot Console assists with sowing and harrowing, reducing fatigue and fuel consumption; and in Zambia, drones combat fall armyworm infestations affecting key crops.

This technology also reduces manual labor and agrochemical exposure, making precision farming accessible to both smallholders and large-scale farmers.

The FAO's exhibition, celebrating innovations in sustainable agriculture, featured over 260 exhibitors from more than 140 countries, highlighting the global momentum toward sustainable farming solutions.

XAG has been honored with the FAO Global Recognition for Best Practices and Innovative Approaches in Sustainable Plant Production and Protection during the 2025 World Food Forum, which coincided with FAO's 80th anniversary celebration.

The award highlights XAG's Smart Farming Solution, which leverages robotics, automation, and digital intelligence to enhance agricultural productivity sustainably by increasing efficiency and reducing resource use.

XAG's ecosystem includes a range of autonomous farming tools such as drones, rovers, autopilot consoles, and IoT products, all designed to facilitate activities like seeding, crop protection, and irrigation management, often controlled via smartphones or remote consoles.

XAG invests in agricultural talent development through its XAG Academy, training rural youth and women worldwide, and has contributed to pioneering licensed drone spraying and BVLOS operations in the UK, including planting 75,000 trees in just 8 hours.

These initiatives support sustainable farming practices and help establish standards for drone use in agriculture, fostering inclusive modernization.

XAG's drone technology was showcased at FAO's first global exhibition, emphasizing its role in promoting sustainable agricultural innovations.
