Abstract

Concerns about better managing the world’s agricultural resources while reducing the negative environmental impact are raised by the growing strain on the population worldwide and the need to boost agricultural output, especially in the food supply chain, which is currently dealing with significant sustainability and security issues that may be exacerbated by global population expansion, continuous conflicts on a global scale, and pandemic breakouts. Hence, this review investigates and evaluates the new developments in precision agriculture and how they affect sustainability and food security. Precision agriculture, often called smart farming or site-specific crop management, is an agricultural management strategy that uses remote sensing, satellite positioning data, and information technology to maximize yield while accounting for crop and soil variability. This new agricultural trend can completely transform food security and sustainability by increasing yields, lowering input costs, and lessening environmental effects. In this review paper, we shall examine the many facets of precision agriculture, including its technology, advantages, difficulties, and potential contributions to sustainable agricultural practices and global food security.
