Precision agriculture the future of food security.

Farmers that don’t learn about New agriculture technologies will get left behind because without smart farming ,the expected output will be low or nonexistent.


Whether it is information and technology or equipment technology, there are technologies that will help our agricultural industry deliver a sustainable, affordable, and nutritious supply of food to global consumers.

 This is where precision agriculture comes to play ;where the use of data and technology driven alternatives ensure maximum output.

 Precision agriculture enables a farmer to do more within a short space of time and sure of desired harvest.

Precision agriculture is a new approach to agriculture: machines,data analysis and robots are used to get the results required.

 A farmer based on precision agriculture can determine when to plant,where and how.Soil analysis, moisture analysis and weather forecast can help prevent loses.if planting is done in unfavorable sites. 

Precision agriculture in animal husbandry helps farmers to manage the flock properly,there are various approaches but all with the same aim to alert farmers of any health issues or environmental issues and ensure rapid response and the desired result of more products at expected times.



 Precision agriculture here refers to use of tracking devices ,tags, sensors to monitor the animals at any point in time.

 The major advantage of precision agriculture is that it reduces labor cost and ensures better yield at all levels. It provides an easy,accessible on-the go assessment of your herd and your crops. The mobile platform makes it easy to check updates and respond fast.

 Precision agriculture is the future of agriculture and a key to food security. The technology for driver-less, fully connected, practically people-less precision agriculture is thriving in the US and coming to Europe, says Antonio Marzia, vice president of Precision Solutions at CNH Industrial, makers of some of the world’s largest and most advanced farm machinery.

He sees big data, machinery, climatology and agronomy all combining to increase productivity and reduce labor costs.

 This is how precision agriculture is practiced; a farm manager of the near future watches a large tractor on a screen in his office. It has no driver but is maneuvering itself around trees, precisely planting seeds to within a centimetre.

Sensors measure soil moisture to a depth of 100cm and a mini weather station tells him the humidity and temperature.

 He receives an automated text warning of a major storm approaching. His insurance company in the US automatically calculates from millions of bits of historical weather data that he may have to replant the field at a cost of £2,000.

It offers him an instant quote. If a satellite confirms that the storm ruins his crop he will be paid instantly.

 Robot farmers are the future of agriculture as a farmer switches to another screen where he can observe his herd of 500 cows. Each animal is being monitored for its milk yield, body weight, the food it has consumed and its location.

Sensors on their collars indicate that one cow is behaving slightly unusually. The computer warns him that she is likely to be ill and could infect the others.More
