Author(s): Alaa Abdulhadi Abbas
Abstract: The paper reviews the effect of precision agriculture and remote sensing technologies on efficient farming practices. The study is about using UAVs, GIS, and machine learning to determine the effectiveness of the updated technologies in crop inspection, estimating yields, and increasing farm productivity. From the study, it is clear that precision agriculture is efficient in the exploitation of resources to enhance production, and sustainable agriculture. However, barriers to widespread use are high costs, the requirement of technical knowledge, and current existing scales, which may be insufficient. In this context, the study insists on the multiplicity of challenges that these tendencies destabilise, as well as the need for researchers, politicians and farmers to work hand in hand in order to face these difficulties. With regards to its findings, the study identifies that both the sustenance of consistent technological advancement and the creation of efficient application systems are indispensable for the realization of the potential of precision agriculture. They are the technologies that promise the hopeful future for agriculture by providing access to rich data and forecasting capacities for delivering the amounts of food necessary for the population of the planet and, at the same time, ensuring the conditions for sustainable development of the industry. Therefore, with this present research more knowledge is added to this emerging field of study and this research work also paves way for further research and development.
