Potential of precision conservation agriculture as a means of increasing productivity and incomes for smallholder farmers

At first glance, suggesting precision agriculture for smallholder farmers may seem out of context. However, the circumstances in which most of the smallholder farmers are operating are generally characterized by substandard management practices and input and market constraints. Management standards and precision are often lacking, and high-tech ways of improving those are not affordable for smallholders. However, increased precision will improve productivity significantly, even without extra inputs.
