Modern agriculture increasingly relies on advanced technologies to improve productivity, resource management, and sustainability. Three key technologies transforming the agricultural landscape are Remote Sensing, Global Positioning System (GPS), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). These tools form the backbone of precision agriculture, enabling data-driven decisions that optimize crop production and environmental stewardship.
Remote sensing, GPS, and GIS are vital technologies in modern agriculture, playing a crucial role in enhancing precision and efficiency. GPS (Global Positioning System) is widely used in precision farming, enabling accurate farm planning, field mapping, soil sampling, crop scouting, and yield monitoring. It allows farmers to operate efficiently even under low-visibility conditions such as rain, dust, fog, and darkness. Through GPS, essential agricultural data—such as field slope, soil nutrient levels, and crop yield—can be continuously tracked and recorded, contributing to the development of extensive agricultural databases.
GIS (Geographic Information System) complements GPS by storing, managing, and analyzing the spatial data collected, offering deeper insights into field variability and aiding in decision-making. Remote sensing further enhances this process by providing real-time and large-scale monitoring of crop health, moisture levels, and land use.
This paper explores how the integration of remote sensing, GPS, and GIS can significantly improve agricultural practices, promoting more sustainable, efficient, and data-driven farming methods.
