Abstract

The global temperature rise, of approximately 0.9 degrees Celsius since the late 19th century, due mostly to greenhouse gas emissions, and its future projections of further climate alterations, is commonly known as climate change. Preventing climate change is a key priority of the EU, as well as of other nations. Europe has set specific targets on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in most sectors, including agriculture, and is monitoring Member-States’ progress towards these targets. Precision agriculture, through improved fertilizer, soil and water management can significantly reduce climate change greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining, or even increasing, crop yields and reducing production costs, ensuring sustainability of agricultural systems.
