Precision Agriculture : Concepts, Strategies, and Case Studies

As climate variability intensifies and pressure on natural resources grows, the need for smarter, data-driven crop management has never been greater.Precision Agriculture presents a forward-looking yet practical examination of how advanced technologies are reshaping modern farming into a more productive, efficient, and sustainable enterprise. Precision Agriculture: Concepts, Strategies, and Case Studies brings together leading experts from agriculture, data science, engineering, and agricultural policy to explore the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, remote sensing, geospatial technologies, IoT-enabled systems, and decision-support tools.Moving beyond conceptual discussions, the book emphasizes real-world implementation through applied frameworks and case studies that demonstrate improved yield optimization, resource-use efficiency, and climate resilience across diverse agro-ecological settings. In addition to technological innovation, the volume addresses the policy, regulatory, and ethical dimensions essential for responsible digital transformation in agriculture.By combining current advances with emerging trends, it equips readers with both operational insights and strategic foresight necessary to navigate the evolving landscape of smart farming. Serving as both a reference and a practical guide, this book is designed for researchers, agricultural professionals, policymakers, and postgraduate students seeking to harness precision technologies for sustainable and climate-resilient crop production.As part of the Nextgen Agriculture: Novel Concepts and Innovative Strategies series, this book offers the analytical depth and applied orientation required to support informed decision-making and long-term agricultural transformation.
