Precision Agriculture and Its Future

Natural resources, biotic variables, agro-inputs, and management all impact agricultural production. Uncontrolled use of resources and inputs frequently occurs by farmers, which results in environmental pollution, degradation of land, and financial loss to farmers. The term "precision farming" describes the integration of GIS and GPS tools to provide extensive detailed information on crop growth, crop health, crop yield, water absorption, nutrient levels, topography, and soil variability [1]. Precision agriculture makes use of technology such as sensors, GPS, GIS, Internet of Things, drones, etc., among other things, to optimize the use of natural resources and farm inputs for a given crop production and quality. Agriculture could become more productive and consistent due to digital agriculture and more effective use of resources and time. This article presents the gist of Precision Agriculture along with its components and future implications.
