Precision farming, hydroponics, vertical farming, and genetic modification are examples of modern agriculture techniques. These agricultural techniques have several benefits over conventional farming.

Precision farming is the application of IoT, data analytics, and GPS technologies to maximize field-level crop farming management. By giving accurate information on crop health, moisture content, and soil conditions, it increases efficiency while lowering input costs and having a less negative impact on the environment.

Hydroponics: An approach to soilless gardening in which plants are grown in nutrient-rich water solutions. Increased crop yields, quicker growth rates, and less water use are all made possible by it. Arable land is not as necessary when using this strategy in metropolitan areas.

Crops are grown vertically, sometimes in regulated interior spaces, in stacked layers. It minimizes reliance on weather conditions, increases the use of available space, uses less water, and allows for year-round production.

Genetic modification is the process of changing a crop’s genetic composition to increase desired characteristics including drought tolerance, insect resistance, and increased nutritional value. It may result in higher output and a decrease in the requirement for chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

These contemporary methods have several benefits, including as increased yields, resource efficiency, less environmental impact, and the capacity to grow crops in unconventional settings, which helps to better address the problems associated with food security.
