摘要

Precision farming is an agricultural management approach that use information technology to improve sustainability and productivity in farming. It entails the use of a variety of instruments, including sensors, drones, satellites, GIS, and predictive analytics, to observe, measure, and respond to spatial and temporal variability in vegetation and soil. This paper conducts a data analysis to investigate the advantages and challenges of precision farming in various contexts and regions, and reviews the literature on the subject. The following research issues are the focus of the paper: (1) What are the primary advantages and disadvantages of precision agriculture for farmers, the environment, and society? (2) What are the principal elements that affect the adoption and dissemination of precision farming technology and practices? (3) In what ways might precision farming be enhanced and amalgamated with other agricultural advancements and policies? The study concludes that precision agriculture may augment agricultural output and quality, decrease input expenses and environmental repercussions, and increase farm management and decision-making processes. Nonetheless, it encounters several obstacles and hazards, including substantial initial investment, insufficient technological expertise and understanding, data privacy, and security concerns, as well as societal and institutional limitations. The report asserts that precision farming needs further research and development, education and extension, collaboration and coordination, as well as regulation and incentives to address these issues and achieve its full potential.
