Precision Agriculture

Precision agriculture (PA) is the use of technology to improve the ratio between agricultural output (usually food) and agricultural input (land, energy, water, fertilisers, pesticides, etc.). This project aims to provide insights into the potential opportunities and challenges of PA in fields such as technological developments, sustainable farming and farmers’ skills.  Increased use of PA could have a considerable impact on the future of farming in Europe.
