Abstract: Precision agriculture represents an innovative approach utilizing technologies and scientific methods to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural operations and their application in modern agriculture. Various technological innovations are analyzed, including the use of sensors, GPS systems, remote sensing, and software solutions that aid in optimizing agricultural operations. The article discusses the challenges of implementing precision agriculture, as well as future development opportunities in the sector and the potential benefits for farmers, rural communities, and the environment from implementing this approach. The importance of precision agriculture as an innovative strategy for addressing challenges and achieving sustainable development in agriculture is emphasized. The goal of this article is to assist agricultural producers, agricultural specialists, and decision-makers in the sector in making informed decisions and strategies for implementing precision agriculture in their practices. Implementing precision agriculture will lead to improved efficiency and sustainability by reducing the use of resources such as water, fertilizers, and pesticides, increasing the productivity of agricultural crops, and reducing the adverse environmental impacts of agriculture.
