Abstract

This chapter, “Precision Agriculture: Leveraging AI and Drones for Eco-Friendly Farming,” explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and drone technology on sustainable agriculture. It delves into how precision agriculture uses these advanced tools to enhance crop production and reduce environmental impacts. AI-driven algorithms and drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors enable precise monitoring and management of crops, providing real-time insights into soil health, crop conditions, and pest infestations. This allows farmers to optimize resource usage and make informed irrigation, fertilization, and pest control decisions. The chapter also discusses these technologies' economic and ecological benefits, such as increased crop yields, reduced input costs, and lower environmental footprints, while addressing challenges like high initial costs and data privacy concerns. Through case studies and real-world applications, the chapter illustrates the practical benefits and future potential of AI and drones in promoting sustainable farming practices.
