This book presents a clear and structured view of precision agriculture as a practical approach for climate‑resilient and sustainable farming. It brings together the core ideas, tools, and practices that shape modern food production.

The first section introduces the core principles of precision agriculture, climate resilience, global food system challenges, and the digital technologies that enable data‑driven farm decisions. Subsequent chapters examine key adaptation themes, including climate risk assessment, smart water management, soil health diagnostics, nutrient optimisation, and crop diversification. The mitigation section focuses on carbon management, precision livestock systems, renewable energy integration, and targeted approaches that reduce chemical inputs.

This book serves as a useful reading resource for students, researchers, agronomists, policymakers, extension workers, development practitioners, and anyone interested in practical and technology‑enabled pathways for sustainable farming in a changing climate.
