Precision Technologies for Digital Agriculture investigates the growing role of computational and connected approaches in contemporary agricultural environments, bringing together recent findings in artificial intelligence, sensing infrastructures, agroecosystem modeling, and data analytics to illustrate decisive shifts toward more accurate, forward-looking, and responsive decision-making.Early chapters set out the theoretical and technical underpinnings of digital and precision agriculture, addressing automation, data stewardship, privacy, and the development of dependable AI-based tools. These foundations support a detailed overview of key technological building blocks, including remote and proximal sensing, geospatial platforms, machine vision, digital twins, and the Internet of Living Things, with emphasis on their contribution to integrated system management and optimized resource allocation.Later sections concentrate on applied methods across field operations. Topics include climate-adaptive, smart irrigation, soil and microbial diagnostics, UAV-enabled monitoring, and algorithmic frameworks to yield estimation and nutrient regulation. Across these chapters, attention is given to both implementation constraints and enabling factors, including interoperability, data security, and scalability.The volume concludes with regionally grounded case studies and economic assessments that explore adoption strategies, governance arrangements, and cost-benefit considerations across diverse crops and production settings. Together, these cutting-edge analyses provide a structured assessment of how digital technologies are being translated into transformative agricultural practice, and of the contextual conditions under which their effective use can be fully realized.Covers the complete lifecycle of agricultural technology-from system design and validation to deployment and scaling-supporting more realistic planning and evaluation of digital solutionsHighlights interdisciplinary methods that combine biological, engineering, and data-centric perspectives, empowering more robust interpretation of complex agricultural processes and datasetsFacilitates resilient food production configurations by demonstrating how precision-enabled procedures can balance sustainability with measurable gains in output and efficiency
