Precision agriculture (PA) is a technology-intensive farming strategy that uses precise management methods to capture land heterogeneity. It requires a Global Positioning System, sensors for monitoring soil moisture and nutrients, and geo-referenced maps. When implemented on a large scale, PA can improve productivity, increase resource savings, and reduce environmental impact. PA has the potential to solve food insecurity in underdeveloped nations and address various agricultural challenges. It is a sustainable farming method that integrates cutting-edge technologies and data-driven approaches, promoting efficiency, environmental stewardship, and economic viability.
