Technology and automation influence agricultural practices by enhancing productivity and efficiency through innovative tools and systems. Advanced technologies such as precision agriculture, which utilizes sensors and data analytics, allow farmers to monitor conditions in real-time, optimize resource use, and improve crop yields. Automation in the form of robotics and drone technology streamlines tasks like planting, fertilizing, and harvesting, significantly reducing labor costs. Moreover, technologies like IoT facilitate smart management of irrigation and other farming practices, making agriculture more sustainable and responsive to environmental changes.
