They\u2019ve even surpassed more modern techniques like aerial photography and satellite imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, <strong>unmanned aerial vehicles are used to assess crops<\/strong> and apply products in a localized and precise manner, significantly reducing the potential presence of agrochemicals in the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Precision agriculture is a<strong> food production management strategy that collects, processes, and analyzes temporal, spatial, and individual data<\/strong>. These are combined with other information to support decision-making, taking into account field variability to improve resource efficiency, productivity, quality, profitability, and sustainability in agricultural production, as defined by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispag.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Society of Precision Agriculture<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drones now capture aerial images,<strong> replacing the simple task of manually scouting or exploring <\/strong>vast crop fields. With a diagnostic drone, a specific problem\u2014like weeds or pests such as leaf-eating insects\u2014can be identified over large areas. A second drone can then apply fertilizers or chemicals to target the issue in a localized manner, <strong>avoiding wasteful application<\/strong> across an entire crop that may not need treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe idea is to manage both temporal and spatial information to address field variability and improve resource efficiency,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/research.tec.mx\/vivo-tec\/display\/PID_3529?_gl=1*1oo9aqo*_gcl_au*MTA5MTM2NjkxOC4xNzI2NjkyNDkx*_ga*MTI3MDQ0NjU4MS4xNzI2NjkyNDkx*_ga_D9LSDN87GD*MTcyNjc3MjgxOS42LjAuMTcyNjc3MjgxOS42MC4wLjc3MzIyNDUx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Juan Valiente<\/a>, professor-researcher at Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey\u2019s Quer\u00e9taro Campus and National Director of the Biosystems Engineering Program at the <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/school-of-engineering-and-sciences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Engineering and Sciences<\/a>. \u201cSo, if one area has a problem, <strong>the goal is to prescribe a custom solution<\/strong> to address that particular spot, whether it&#8217;s a pest or another issue, in a targeted way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"CAETEC, el laboratorio de agroindustria m\u00e1s grande del Tec\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KumXUQ000LI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Precision Agriculture for the Planet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>More precise application of fertilizers or agrochemicals in smaller, targeted areas not only saves costs for farmers but also benefits<strong> soil health, consumers, and the <a href=\"\/en\/tech\/energy-efficiency-cargo-trucks\/\">environment<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese new technologies can boost yields by enabling more informed decision-making through the collection of specific data. There\u2019s also greater control thanks to continuous monitoring, and <strong>it reduces physical effort<\/strong>,\u201d Valiente tells <em><strong>TecScience<\/strong><\/em> in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, a yield monitor calculates productivity across a crop over time and space, based on GPS location data, which is then displayed on a map. The same device can estimate the <strong>amount of grain being harvested<\/strong> and its moisture level at each site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key challenge that precision agriculture addresses is water efficiency. According to Mexico\u2019s 2022 Agricultural Census by INEGI, the more technology is integrated into irrigation systems, <strong>the better water is utilized for food production.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Countries Like Mexico Reap the Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The integration of this \u201ccollection of technologies,\u201d as Valiente succinctly describes precision agriculture, has been steadily increasing. In 2016 alone, devices based on satellite navigation systems saw<strong> adoption rates between 60% and 80% in some countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the application of different technological methods depends on two factors, according to a 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s40003-021-00539-x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study<\/a>: if the devices are &#8220;<strong>built-in knowledge<\/strong>&#8220;\u2014meaning they don\u2019t require extra skills to operate, such as guidance systems, automatic section control, and yield monitors\u2014they are more likely to be embraced by farmers. But if the technologies <strong>require knowledge investment<\/strong>, such as software programs for data analysis, soil mapping, and variable-rate fertilization and planting, their adoption may be slower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Mexico, where 32.1 million hectares are dedicated to agriculture, new technologies have primarily focused on <strong>localized applications of fertilizers and pesticides and sustainable water use<\/strong>, notes Valiente. The main challenges faced by Mexican farmers have been the high cost of inputs and services, followed by climate factors,<strong> low sales, and soil fertility loss, according to INEGI.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMexico has low water-use efficiency. This is particularly critical in a country where water is scarce, and <strong>the largest share is used for agriculture.<\/strong> Add to that climate change scenarios, where rising temperatures and decreasing rainfall are expected to increase demand for water. Any technology that improves water use efficiency would have a significant impact,\u201d explains Valiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, <strong>agriculture accounted for 67.5% of total water consumption,<\/strong> according to the National Water Commission (Conagua).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among <strong>the challenges Valiente identifies in the advancement of precision agriculture <\/strong>in Mexico is the opportunity to specialize in the use of real-time weather and crop data for managing technologies that improve agri-food production efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey\u2019s AGRO Experimental Field (<a href=\"\/en\/tech\/caetec-laboratory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAETEC<\/a>) in Quer\u00e9taro, precision technologies like soil sensors, drones, satellites, and software are used to monitor various crops, including grains, forage, vines, and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sustentabilidad agr\u00edcola: as\u00ed avanza la investigaci\u00f3n en el Tec de Monterrey\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L0qTS1DoEns?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Future of Agriculture is Regenerative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the future of agriculture and related technologies, Valiente is optimistic. He speaks about his <strong>encounters with regenerative agriculture<\/strong> and the impressive machinery he&#8217;s seen at conventions, comparing them to spaceships, like something out of Star Wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regenerative agriculture refers to holistic farming systems that, among other benefits, aim to conserve and regenerate arable soil while improving water and air quality, increasing biodiversity in ecosystems, <strong>producing nutrient-rich foods, and sequestering carbon<\/strong> to help mitigate climate change, as defined by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe used to think the soil was there for us to use and abuse as we wished, <strong>but new trends seek to reduce that environmental impact<\/strong>. While we&#8217;re still in the early stages, more and more young people are adopting this mindset,\u201d says Valiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this academic,<strong> the future of agriculture is clear<\/strong>: it must tackle the challenges of feeding an increasingly demanding global population, address climate change, become more resource-efficient, leverage new technologies like Artificial Intelligence, produce innovative foods such as alternative <a href=\"\/en\/science-communication\/edible-crickets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">protein sources<\/a>, complement agri-biotechnology to withstand droughts or high temperatures, and even act as a mechanism for carbon capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em><strong>Did you find this story interesting?
