About the Book

Geoinformatics, Precision Farming, and nanotechnology are examples of climate-smart, sustainable agriculture practices that utilize modern tools and techniques to optimize agricultural production, reduce input costs, and minimize environmental impact. These practices advocate for the precise application of inputs at the appropriate time and place, considering soil and crop variability. The development of spectral and hyperspectral sensors, as well as high-resolution images obtained through satellite technology, has accelerated information generation and collection in these areas. Innovations in nanotechnology, such as nanoscale biosensors and nanoparticles, have also shown promise in enhancing agricultural productivity by improving the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other inputs. The goal of these practices is to achieve sustainable agriculture under declining resources. The book covers all the above to cater to the needs of any beginner in the above fields
