Abstract

Agriculture plays a crucial role in global food production. Nevertheless, the concern about its impact on the environment and sustainability is increasing. This article addresses modern technologies that are used or can be used in sustainable agriculture. There are discussions of various technological innovations, including precision agriculture and remote sensing. These innovations have demonstrated the prospects of reducing resource use, increasing efficiency, and improving environmental sustainability in agriculture. The authors also highlighted the problems and limitations of these technologies, such as cost, availability, and possible unintended consequences. In addition, the article discusses the need for interdisciplinary cooperation between researchers, politicians, and farmers to ensure the successful implementation of these technologies in agriculture. In general, the findings emphasize the need for the introduction of technologies in agriculture for sustainable methods and the potential of technologies to contribute to sustainable agriculture in the future.
