The role of new agricultural technologies in realizing food security abstract
Ensuring the nourishment of the growing global population has been a subject of concern for policymakers, economists, various organizations, and most importantly, the agricultural community for centuries. Today, various factors threaten this capacity and food security. Factors such as limited and depleting resources, climate change, migration, and changes in population dietary patterns are posing challenges to food security. Food security is a crucial indicator of human development and will be achieved when all people have physical and economic access to sufficient, healthy, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and preferences. Therefore, access to adequate and desirable food and nutritional health is a key aspect of development, community health, and the foundation for the future generations of any country. One of the modern technologies in agriculture is Smart Soil Technology, which encompasses a wide range of innovative tools and techniques designed to optimize soil health, improve crop performance, and minimize the environmental footprint of agriculture. This technology allows farmers to monitor and manage soil conditions in real time. Such management enables farmers to make data-driven decisions, increasing efficiency and flexibility in facing climate changes, thus allowing them to make the best decisions to save their crops in different conditions. One of the most promising advancements in Smart Soil Technology is the use of advanced sensors and monitoring systems. These devices can measure a wide range of soil parameters such as moisture, temperature, nutrient levels, and soil pH, providing farmers with a precise understanding of soil health and field requirements, serving as the ultimate tool in ensuring food security.
