Abstract

Precision farming uses advanced technology like GPS, sensors, and drones to make farming better and greener. It applies water, fertilizers, and pesticides where crops need them. GPS helps map fields and guide machines. Sensors give up-to-date information on soil, crops, and weather. Drones watch from above, letting farmers act fast and use resources wisely. By not using too much and cutting waste, this method has less impact on nature. It saves water, stops chemicals from running off, and keeps soil healthy. This chapter looks at how these tools fit into today's farms. It shows real examples of good points and tough spots. It points out how precision farming could change old ways, leading to farming that lasts and bounces back from problems.
