Smart & Sustainable Agriculture refers to farming practices that leverage modern technology and eco-friendly methods to increase efficiency, productivity, and resilience while minimizing environmental impact. It combines smart agriculture, which uses data-driven solutions like IoT sensors, AI, and automation, with sustainable agriculture, which focuses on resource conservation, soil health, biodiversity, and reducing carbon footprints.
Key aspects include:
- Precision farming (data-driven decision-making, GPS-guided equipment)
- Climate-smart practices (drought-resistant crops, carbon sequestration)
- Efficient resource use (water conservation, renewable energy)
- Eco-friendly inputs (organic fertilizers, integrated pest management)
- Biodiversity & soil health (crop rotation, agroforestry)
The goal is to ensure food security, economic viability for farmers, and long-term environmental sustainability.
