Advancements in Crop and Pasture Management: Enhancing Agricultural Sustainability and Productivity

Abstract

Agriculture is vital to global food security and socioeconomic
development. Efficient crop and pasture management is critical
for increasing yields, conserving natural resources, and limiting
environmental consequences. This review article investigates recent
advances in crop and pasture-related themes, emphasising novel
ideas, emerging technology, and sustainable practises that increase
agricultural productivity and environmental stewardship.
We investigate the most recent trends in sustainable crop and pasture
practises, such as conservation agriculture, precision farming, integrated
pest control, and agroforestry, in this comprehensive analysis. We also
go into the intriguing world of genetic breakthroughs, where genomic
selection, gene editing, and synthetic biology are altering crop and
pasture improvement.
We emphasise the necessity of climate-resilient crop and pasture
management practises, as well as the use of weather forecasting
and decision support systems in agricultural planning, in light of the
increasing challenges faced by climate change. Furthermore, the role
of digital agriculture and big data in transforming farming practises
is examined, with an emphasis on IoT and sensor technologies, data
analytics, and artificial intelligence.
Finally, this essay discusses sustainable livestock farming practises such
as rotational grazing and feed efficiency improvements as fundamental
components of holistic and environmentally friendly agricultural
systems. As agriculture faces a slew of difficulties, this review urges
researchers, politicians, and farmers to work together to implement
revolutionary practises that secure food security, promote sustainability,
and stimulate rural development
