“Precision farming is a technology-based field management system. It is aimed to optimize the overall farming practices and input of resources. The rising population creates a huge demand for food. Influence of global warming on agricultural practices and sustainability of natural resources is high. Productivity of agriculture is always related to the climate changes. This increases the burden on food productivity and natural resources such as soil. These factors undermine the importance of optimizing farming practices, ensuring productivity and efficient use of resources.
Precision farming uses technological advancements in various fields such as data management, geo-location tracking and so on, to enhance productivity. Precision farming has a remarkable impact on traditional approaches to farming. These practices guide farmers in several crucial activities such choosing right time to plant, right amount of fertilizer or pesticide to maximize yield. It helps Livestock producers to have timely production related information such as feeding/nutritional issues and feeding related costs. These are huge parts of the variable costs in a livestock farm. Electronically controlled livestock production systems help in gathering data in a timely manner. They help to access the efficiency of resources and thus, optimize their input.
