Importancia de la implementación de sistema de posicionamiento global (GPS) en la agricultura de precisión

The implementation of modern technologies, such as the Global Positioning System, has been a key solution, specifically in the execution of precision agriculture. Technology has proven its effectiveness as we face today's modern problems of irrigation, scarce resources as well as climate impact. Instruments such as remote sensors, smart irrigation systems and GPS are in the role of providing farmers with the greatest information necessary to make correct decisions that would contribute to the improvement of their operation and activity, as well as the results. GPS, among other things, changed the way resources are determined and managed to plant and harvest crops more accurately, avoiding unnecessary damage, optimizing land use, and improving the use of inputs such as water. After these investigations and experiences with these technologies, it was only shown that they increase productivity and promote a more sustainable and environmentally responsible activity; however, we still have an important challenge to face. Adoption and recognition of these existing tools, especially in remote areas of the agricultural chain, are important. Therefore, it is important to exploit and develop new solutions so that more farmers can enjoy them and build more efficient resources for food production.

La implantación de nuevas tecnologías tales como el Sistema de Posicionamiento Global, han sido una solución clave, específicamente en la ejecución de la agricultura de precisión. La tecnología ha demostrado su efectividad en la medida en que se enfrentan hoy los problemas modernos del riego, recursos escasos, así como el impacto climático. Los instrumentos como los sensores remotos, los sistemas de riego inteligente y GPS se encuentran en el papel de proporcionar a los agricultores la mayor información necesaria para tomar decisiones acertadas que contribuirían a la mejora de su operación y actividad, así como los resultados. El GPS, entre otras cosas, cambió la forma en que se determinan y se manejan los recursos para plantar y recoger cosechas con mayor exactitud, evitando daños innecesarios, optimizando el uso del suelo y mejorando el uso de insumos como el agua. Posterior a estas investigaciones y experiencias con estas tecnologías solo se demostró que aumentan la productividad y fomentan una actividad más sostenible y responsable con el medio ambiente, no obstante, aún tenemos un reto importante por afrontar. La adopción y el reconocimiento de estas herramientas existentes, sobre todo en áreas remotas de la cadena agrícola, son importantes. Por eso, es importante explotar y desarrollar nuevas soluciones para que más agricultores puedan disfrutar de ellas y construir recursos más eficientes para la producción alimenticia.
