Agrotechnologies and Their Impact on Sustainable
Development of Agriculture
Abstract
Agriculture has been one of the main occupations of humans for millennia, but in recent years, this sector has faced significant changes. Global issues such as population growth, the depletion of natural resources and climate change have made it necessary to approach agriculture in a more efficient and sustainable way. It is at this point that agrotechnologies come to the forefront. These technologies modernize traditional farming methods to increase productivity, reduce resource waste and protect the environment. Agrotechnologies cover various areas. For example, through sensors, the moisture and nutrient content of the soil are measured accurately, making irrigation and fertilization processes more efficient. Drones allow large farming areas to be monitored from the air, enabling the timely detection of diseases and pests. At the same time, artificial intelligence and automated systems facilitate the analysis and decision-making processes, increasing the speed and accuracy of work. These technologies not only ease the farmer's work, but also help in obtaining more and higher-quality products. The technological advancements have transformed agriculture from a field that was only about crop production into an inseparable part of science and innovation.
