Agricultural Innovation and the Role of Institutions: Lessons from the Game of Drones

Per Frankelius, Charlotte Norrman, Knut Johansen · 2017 · Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics

Summary. Unmanned aerial systems (drones) offer Swedish farmers significant benefits including reduced costs, higher yields, and environmental gains. However, camera surveillance legislation unexpectedly classified drones as surveillance devices, creating institutional barriers that inhibited their agricultural adoption. The study demonstrates how legislative institutions can obstruct responsible innovation and reveals conflicts between competing ethical frameworks governing technology use.
