Advances and prospects of precision agriculture for agricultural sustainability
Abstract
Precision agriculture is an agricultural practice that uses advanced technologies, such as remote sensing, intelligent irrigation systems, and nanotechnology, to optimize natural resource management and increase agricultural productivity. This discipline emerges in response to contemporary challenges in agriculture, such as increasing food demand, resource scarcity, and environmental impacts. By collecting, analyzing, and applying large volumes of data in real-time, precision agriculture enables farmers to make informed decisions and adapt quickly to changing environmental conditions. While precision agriculture offers innovative solutions, its full potential has yet to be realized. Further research and development of new technologies are needed, as well as improved accessibility and adoption by farmers.
