Abstract

The constant increase in the world population is a trend that also requires the increase in food production, i.e. the increase in crop yields, which represent the main challenge of agricultural production in recent years. This paper aims to provide insight into new trends and technologies necessary for the development of precision agriculture, emphasizing the advantages of integrating smart sensors and innovative technologies. The transition to modern agricultural production enables the increase in yields, a reduction in production costs, and the production of healthier and better quality products. The goal of precision agriculture is to increase yield, efficiency, reduce costs and resources, as well as to minimize the negative impact on the environment. In frames of precision agriculture, there is a trend of introducing sensor detection as a more rational data collection technique. Sensors are devices for detecting, registering and measuring the radiation of electromagnetic energy, its own or reflected. They enable the collection of a larger group of data by applying a simpler technique with minimal costs which can determine the quality of soil and crops. They are also used on a variety of agricultural machinery and robots in order to speed up the data collection process and at the same time prevent the occurrence of malfunctions. The development of precise agricultural production technologies represents a perspective for the improvement of traditional agricultural practices and the transition to modern agricultural production with greater efficiency and sustainability of food provision.
