abstract
Extension services in agriculture are responsible for the transmission of knowledge, technology, and innovations to farmers, which finally leads to enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability. Utilization of the latest technologies like drones and satellite imaging has revolutionized contemporary agriculture by increasing precision agriculture, tracking crop health, optimizing resource usage, and lowering environmental footprints. These technologies are capable of supplying real-time high-resolution data that allows extension agents and farmers to make the best decisions. Also, drones and satellite imaging can aid in disaster response, soil analysis, and effective farm management. This review discusses the contributions of these technologies to agricultural extension, emphasizing their benefits, shortcomings, and possibilities for sustainable technology-based agriculture.
