Hence, this review investigates and evaluates the new developments in precision agriculture and how they affect sustainability and food security. Precision agriculture, often called smart farming or site-specific crop management, is an agricultural management strategy that uses remote sensing, satellite positioning data, and information technology to maximize yield while accounting for crop and soil variability. This new agricultural trend can completely transform food security and sustainability by increasing yields, lowering input costs, and lessening environmental effects. In this review paper, we shall examine the many facets of precision agriculture, including its technology, advantages, difficulties, and potential contributions to sustainable agricultural practices and global food security. Keywords: Precision Agriculture; Food Security; Sustainability; Agriculture Introduction The fast rise of the world’s population poses enormous difficulties to food production systems, necessitating novel techniques to meet food security and environmental problems [1]. Precision agriculture has emerged as a viable answer, enabling farmers to make educated decisions based on accurate and real-time data from their fields [2-4]. These include using sensors, data analytics, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and GPS. Farmers can use real-time data and the spatial variability of their fields to guide their decisions about planting, irrigation, fertilizer, pest management, and harvesting by integrating various tools [5-7]. The use of precision agriculture has been fueled in large part by technological breakthroughs. With the aid of GPS technology, farmers can precisely map and monitor field conditions, allowing them to apply inputs like pesticides, fertilizers, and water [8]. Technologies for remote sensing offer important information about crop health, soil moisture content, and nutrient shortages [6,9,10]. Multispectral sensors on UAVs enable the capture of high-resolution photos for in-depth crop condition assessments [11].
