The use of geographical informational systems in modern agriculture

Abstract

Precision agriculture is a subsystem of sustainable and ecological agriculture systems, but also for the intensive agriculture system. The main factors serving precision agriculture are the increase in soil variation combined with the advent of technologies such as global satellite navigation systems, geographic information systems and microcomputers. In recent years, farmers have gained access to new technologies through the use of GPS-Global Positioning System and Decision Support Systems, which were previously a monopoly of the military arsenal, are now new computerized technologies in the modern civilian world.
