    Artificial Intelligence and Drones: Revolutionizing Smart Farming through Precision and Automation
    (CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group), 2025) Anum Kamal, Faiyaz Ahmad, Aisha Kamal
    As the global population continues to grow, ensuring food security and sustainable agricultural practices becomes increasingly vital. In the fields of precision agriculture and smart farming, emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing have enormous potential. These technological breakthroughs facilitate real-time data collection, including the acquisition of high-resolution crop imagery via Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Harnessing these innovations has the potential to reshape agriculture profoundly, ushering in swifter decision-making processes, cost reductions, and heightened yields. This transformative advancement aligns seamlessly with the principles of precision agriculture, optimizing practices in terms of appropriate locations, timings, and quantities. This chapter aims to explore the transformative role of AI and drones in the field of smart farming. It will provide an in-depth analysis of how these technologies have revolutionized farming practices, enhanced efficiency, and improved crop yields. It will highlight the benefits of using AI and drones, such as early disease detection, optimized resource management, reduced environmental impact, and increased profitability. Additionally, the chapter will address the challenges and future prospects of integrating AI and drone technologies into smart farming systems.

    Conservation Agriculture to Sustainable Farming: A Case Study from Asia
    (Nitya Publications, Bhopal MP India, 2024) Ziaul Islam Ansari, Tahir Hussain Ansari
    This study delves into conservation agriculture (CA), a farming approach characterized by minimal soil disturbance (known as no-till or NT) and permanent soil cover through mulching, complemented by crop rotations, as a more sustainable method for future cultivations. It briefly explores the significance of tillage in agriculture, which emerged in response to the devastating American Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Subsequently, it introduces CA as advancement over CT. This study emphasizes CA's role in promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly crop cultivation practices. It draws a case study of Asia to illustrate the successful implementation of CA practices, resulting in improved production sustainability and profitability. Additionally, the study examines the implications of CA on greenhouse gas emissions and its contribution to mitigating global warming. Ultimately, it underscores the imperative for agriculture to adopt more resource efficient and environmentally conscious practices to meet the growing demands of a burgeoning global population. Encouraging the adoption of CA management systems emerges as a key strategy for achieving this objective.
