2. PRECISION FARMING
Increase crop yields and animal
performance
Reduce costs, including labor costs
Optimize process inputs
Use crop inputs more efficiently, including
pesticides, fertilizers, tillage, and irrigation
water
Reduce wasted seeds and products
Reduce eutrophication and pollution
Save water and energy
Precision farming is a modern agricultural
practice that uses technology to improve
productivity and profitability.
Precision farming combines data collection and
remote sensing with GPS and GIS. It allows
farmers to respond to in-field variability with
their crop management.
Precision farming can help:

3. IOT SENSORS
Adjust farming practices for optimal crop
growth
Know when crops are ripe
Determine how much water is being used
and if an irrigation system is needed
Assess soil health
Determine if more fertilizer or any other
input is needed
IoT (Internet of Things) sensors can be used in
farming to monitor environmental factors such
as:
Temperature, Moisture, Humidity, Soil quality,
Nitrate levels, Water content.
The data collected by the sensors can provide a
real-time picture of what's going on in the
field. This information can be used to:

4. BIOTECHNOLOGY
Developing crops with enhanced nutrition
profiles
Producing foods free of allergens and
toxins
Improving food and crop oil content
Genetically modified (GM) crops and gene
editing techniques are used to create crops
with enhanced disease resistance, better
yields, and improved nutritional content.
Biotechnology has applications in many areas
of society, including:
Medicine, Agriculture, Environmental science,
Healthcare, Biofuels, and Environmental
safety.
Some examples of biotechnology include:

5. VERTICAL FARMING
Vertical farming is a method of growing crops
in vertically stacked layers. It's done in a
controlled environment using techniques such
as Aquaponics and hydroponics farming can
produce food in challenging environments,
like where arable land is rare or unavailable.
It can also grow more food in less space and
eschew pesticides.
Vertical farming uses LED lighting and
controlled growing and nutrition systems.
It can also reduce water usage and protect
against extreme weather conditions. However,
it's a power-intensive operation. The energy
required for lighting, temperature control,
ventilation, and irrigation can significantly
increase operational costs.

6. INDOOR CLIMATE
CONTROL
HVAC systems: Remove heat and ensure
proper airflow
Dehumidifiers: Remove excess humidity
Ventilation: Maintain an optimal growing
environment
Lighting: Provide the ideal spectrum of
light for growth
CO2 levels: Set according to preference and
adjusted as needed
Monitor their performance
Evaluate their results
Indoor climate control systems in farming
allow farmers to create, track, and optimize
all climate conditions. These systems can
include:
To ensure that climate control is working
properly and efficiently, farmers should:

7. These new age techniques in agriculture are revolutionizing the
industry by increasing productivity, reducing resource waste, and
promoting sustainability. By incorporating these technologies and
methods, farmers can adapt to the challenges of a changing climate
and a growing global population while maximizing the efficiency
and profitability of their operations.
