Precision Agriculture is a data-based decision making farming process taking in-field variability into consideration. It uses multiple advance tools and technologies like GPS, GIS, VRT and provides substantial value in terms of minimizing input and maximizing profit to farmers in regions like Canada, North America who have larger land holding capacity. Precision agriculture technologies require significant investment in terms of capital which is most of the time not feasible for farmers with small farm holding capacity especially in regions like India which is very cost sensitive market.

In this paper, we will glance at various enablers for Precision Farming like environmental / weather impact, and world population etc. followed by various technologies used in Precision Agriculture along with current trends. We will also cover evolution of agriculture industry over period in India along with current Precision Farming trends for small farm holders. We will review aspects like complexity, affordability, technology integration, ease of use etc. and how these may affect the Precision Farming adaption.

We will also see some specific case studies and product where early precision farming solution are being used and its scale. We will conclude paper with our recommendation on overcoming these challenges.
