ABSTRACT
Precision farming technologies are transforming modern agriculture by enabling data-driven, site-specific crop management that enhances productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Innovations such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Global Positioning System (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, drones, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning facilitate real-time monitoring and informed decision-making. These technologies optimize irrigation, nutrient management, pest control, and yield prediction while reducing input costs and ecological impacts. Despite their potential, challenges including high implementation costs, limited technical expertise, infrastructure gaps, and data privacy concerns hinder widespread adoption. Effective policy support, farmer training, financial incentives, and digital infrastructure are essential to accelerate adoption and maximize the benefits of precision agriculture for sustainable food production.
