Agricultural mapping
Technological innovations and geospatial technology help in creating a dynamic and competitive agriculture which is protective of the environment and capable of providing excellent nutrition to the people. While natural inputs in farming cannot be controlled, they can be better understood and managed with GIS applications. GIS can substantially help in effective crop yield estimates, soil amendment analyses and erosion identification and remediation. More accurate and reliable crop estimates help reduce uncertainty. (Geospatial World, 2018)
Smart farming
Sensors in fields, on tractors and on satellites high above farms are constantly collecting data. Advanced technologies are able to turn this data into information that farmers and land managers can use to make more informed and timely decisions. This, in turn, boosts productivity and reduces environmental impacts.
Farming is getting smarter with the availability of advanced technologies like precision equipment, the Internet of Things (IoT), sensors and actuators, geo-positioning systems, Big Data, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, robotics etc. (Geospatial World, 2018)
Conclusion – Agriculture Technology
Precision farming, satellites, drones, web maps and sophisticated models – this list represents some of the agriculture technology that farmers and researchers use today.
The modern-day farmer needs to understand a lot more than just what to seed – soils, weeds, nutrients, weather, insects, disease, machinery and climate.
These emerging trends provide the location intelligence farmers need to get the job done faster and with more knowledge. (GIS Geography, 2019)
