Precision agriculture (PA) is the utilization of information technology to enhance the management of agricultural and livestock production, recognized as a significant tool for promoting global food security. PA may enhance productivity, optimize resource allocation for inputs like fertilizers, pesticides, water, labor, and feed, provide more production, and mitigate the environmental effect of agricultural production. However, PA is a strategy that can vary significantly based on farm factors, including the types of crops and livestock, farm size, management practices, access to technical support, and the operator’s attributes such as age and education level. Consequently, the implementation of PA has been more gradual and inconsistent relative to certain other agricultural technologies. Contemporary PA management methods are infrequently adopted on small, low-mechanization farms, which constitute a significant portion of global agricultural output, particularly in regions with the highest food insecurity. Similar to previous agricultural technologies, its advantages predominantly accrue to its adopters and society at large, but those who are unable or unwilling to adapt are left at a comparative disadvantage, a situation that now affects the majority of farmers globally. PA possesses a distinctive characteristic compared to earlier production-focused advances; it is information-driven, enabling enhanced awareness and adjustments along the food supply and demand chain.
