Agricultural engineering is a significant branch of science and engineering that deals with advanced technologies in agriculture. It is the practice of implementing these technologies in agriculture to produce agricultural goods and manage natural resources. These technologies fulfill the requirements of different farming systems. The major focus of agricultural engineering is the development of labor-saving machines, improved irrigation and drainage systems, and advanced food preservation and processing systems. Agricultural engineering enables the agriculture sector to achieve the goal of improved sustainability and productivity.
Furthermore, the implementation of ground-breaking technologies such as sensors, satellites, aerial images, GPS technologies, automation, smart irrigation, robots, drones, and others is transforming the agriculture fields into a more profitable and sustainable enterprise worldwide. Additionally, the rising demand for precision agriculture further fuels the need for investments in research and development in agricultural engineering.
