Precision agriculture helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by optimizing resource use and minimizing waste.
Precision agriculture is a contemporary farming method that optimizes the use of resources, such as water, fertilizer, and pesticides, by utilizing technology like GPS, sensors, and data analytics. Precision agriculture eliminates waste and activities that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, like overfertilization and excessive fuel use, by applying inputs precisely where and when they are needed. By avoiding excessive chemical use, which can generate nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, this technique also improves soil health. Precision agriculture maintains farming systems' productivity while addressing climate change by increasing sustainability and efficiency.
