Precision Farming to Achieve Sustainable and Climate Smart Agriculture

Global climate change has a serious impact on agricultural production. Prolonged droughts and severe flooding or start of rainy season that are different than usual affect cropping planning and agricultural production in Indonesia. Climate-smart agriculture offers solutions for both adaptation and mitigation of the impacts of climate change. Implementation of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) models and practices by utilizing and developing current technologies to enhance the sustainability of agriculture. Utilization of space-based data integrated with field-based measurements, such as remote sensing satellite data integrated with climate data, can increase speed and accuracy and help sustainable land management. In Indonesia, the Ministry of Agriculture has developed the Standing Crop Information System (SISCrop) and Crop Calendar Information System (KATAM), providing valuable tools for both policymakers and farmers. These systems facilitate the calculation of seed, fertilizer, pesticide, water requirements, and agricultural tools, contributing to more effective and efficient land management.
