abstract
The most fundamental requirements of humanity are met by agriculture: food and fiber. In the last century, new farming methods have been introduced, such as during the Green Revolution, which has enabled agriculture to keep up with the rising demand for food and other agricultural goods. But as the price goes up a rise in population, an increase in food demand, and rising income levels are projected to place extra strain on resources in nature. As the detrimental effects of agriculture on the environment become more widely acknowledged, Future food demands should be met through innovative methods that maintain or reduce environmental impact. Modern agriculture's growing field of precision farming aims to optimize output (i.e. crop production) while minimizing input (i.e. fertilizer, pesticide, herbicide, etc.). Application of a holistic management approach is what is meant by precision farming. A method that collect data from numerous sources using information technology to make choice regarding agricultural production, marketing, financial, and personnel decisions. The Precision farming's primary goals are to improve production efficiency and to increase product quality, minimize environmental damage, save energy, and protection of the groundwater and soil. The following are crucial elements of precision farming: Management, Information & technology. Precision Farming technologies can be categorized into five primary groups: Computer, Global positioning system (GPS), Geographic information system (GIS), Sensors & Application Control. By improving agriculture management and reducing waste and labour, Precision Farming has the potential to boost yields and lower input cost. Furthermore, it aids in the reduction of environmental pollution.
