Line 1:
In the general case, precision agriculture uses new technologies with the aim of increasing yields and profitability while reducing the amount of required resources. It can be as simple as a crop irrigation systems taking into account weather forecast, but could reach autonomous robots taking care of a wide range of tasks. While precision agriculture is not designed to tackle climate change, it opens up the opportunity to mitigate several sources of emissions.
* More precise use of fertilizers can significantly reduce Nitrous Oxide emissions (which has 296 times the global warming potential of CO2).
* Increasing crop yield can reduce the need of deforestation if the increased production does not simply transfer to more food waste or other [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebound_effect_(conservation) Rebound effects].
* Increasing soil carbon content by reducing the need for tillage and pesticides.
* Enabling better agricultural practices such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_agriculture regenerative agriculture].
While some precision agriculture technologies requires little to no machine learning, the usage of drones and field robotics calls for advanced machine learning techniques.
