Precision Agroecology

In response to global calls for sustainable food production, we identify two diverging paradigms address the future of agriculture. We explore possibility uniting these seemingly production-oriented and ecologically oriented agriculture in form precision agroecology. Merging technology agroecological principles offers a unique array solutions driven by data collection, experimentation, decision support tools. show how synthesis results new that can be transformative (1) reducing inputs with optimized prescriptions, (2) substituting using site-specific variable rate technology, (3) incorporating beneficial biodiversity into agroecosystems conservation (4) reconnecting producers consumers through value-based chains, (5) building just equitable system informed data-driven policy. As result, agroecology provides opportunity synthesize traditional knowledge novel transform systems. doing so, offer agriculture’s biggest challenges achieving sustainability major state change.
