DJI drones joined the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FA0) in its 43rd World Food Day celebration. 

The light show included 1,000 drones resembling fireflies in a display that included them spelling out the name of the event, transforming into water droplets and creating ripples onto the surface of the lake below. They also created a “goddess of life,” which was shown sowing seeds for a “harmonious scene of greenery where humans and nature coexist,” according to DJI.
