Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Precision Farming, Resource Optimisation, SustainabilityAbstract
The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and precision farming technologies is a revolutionary change that revolutionises modern agriculture in efficiency, sustainability, and productivity. Capturing the farm in detail using sophisticated farm mapping and synchronous data gathering using sensors, satellites and drones allows farmers to know what is going on with their fields in ways never possible in the past. Such technologies allow allocating resources accurately, optimising water, fertilisers, and pesticides consumption and achieving maximum harvest and limited effects on the environment. With remote sensing, it is possible to monitor the health of crops in real time and, therefore, detect problems as early as possible to quickly and effectively address them. With further technological development, the prospect of farming will be related to the even stronger use of AI, machine learning, and IoT to integrate them to achieve more complex and efficient systems. It is important to introduce the use of GIS and precision tools in view of achieving global food security without compromising the environment, which will enable the realisation of a sustainable agricultural landscape in the future.
