Precision agriculture is one way that technology is being used to protect the natural environment in agriculture. Precision agriculture involves using tools such as GPS and sensors to gather data on soil conditions, weather patterns, and crop growth, allowing farmers to apply inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides in a more targeted and efficient manner. This helps to reduce the amount of chemicals being used, minimizing environmental damage and improving the sustainability of agricultural practices.
