Precision Farming Technologies: Transforming Agriculture Through Data-Driven Innovation
Agriculture has entered a new era—one driven not only by soil and seeds but also by data, sensors, and intelligent machines. Precision farming technologies , also known as precision agriculture or smart farming, are transforming traditional farming practices by enabling farmers to use resources more efficiently while boosting productivity and sustainability. As global food demand increases and climate conditions become more unpredictable, these technologies play a crucial role in ensuring secure, sustainable, and profitable agriculture. What Is Precision Farming? Precision farming is a modern approach to agriculture that uses digital tools and advanced technologies such as GPS, IoT sensors, drones, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics to collect, process, and analyse agricultural data. This information enables farmers to make informed decisions, optimise field operations, and apply inputs—like water, fertilisers, and pesticides—only where and when they are needed. The...
