Smart Farming

Can Technology Grow More with Less?

Smart farming combines satellites, sensors, drones, robots and artificial intelligence with practical knowledge from the field. It can target water, fertilizer and crop protection precisely, reducing waste while improving yields and resilience. Technologies such as robotic weeders, soil mapping and digital forecasts could help farmers grow more food with less land, water, pollution and guesswork.
