The book begins by establishing a historical context, contrasting traditional farming methods with the rise of precision agriculture. It introduces fundamental concepts in remote sensing, data analytics, and robotics, making complex topics accessible.
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces core technologies, then examines their specific applications like variable rate fertilization, and finally analyzes their broader implications on farm economics and the environment. Real-world case studies illustrate both the opportunities and challenges of implementing these technologies.
Ultimately, the book highlights how this agricultural innovation is not just incremental but a fundamental shift towards a more resilient and efficient food system.
