Conference Focus

Smart agronomy for sustainable crop production represents the integration of advanced technologies and scientific principles to optimize agricultural practices. It focuses on employing data-driven decision-making processes, precision agriculture techniques, and innovative farming methods to enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impact. By leveraging tools such as remote sensing, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive analytics, smart agronomy aims to improve resource efficiency, crop resilience, and overall farm profitability. This approach not only supports sustainable food production but also contributes to the long-term health of ecosystems and communities dependent on agriculture.
