Abstract
Agriculture is a business sector ideally suited for the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It is natural resource based, requires the movement, distribution, and utilization of large quantities of products, goods, and services, and is increasingly required to record details of its business operations from the farm field to the supermarket. Agricultural agencies typically use GIS for support of pesticides and food safety regulations in the country. It is suited to show economic impacts of policy alongside revealing environmental health issues that show up. It can help in mapping an area to record that data and arbitrate land use conflicts to help farmers achieve an increase in production and reduce costs by enabling better management of land resources. GIS has been a proven effective technology for any government. The goal of this paper is to research and discuss the use of GIS in agricultural production. Important components of GIS in agriculture that we will discuss include the use of GPS and remote sensors to manage large fields. The value of GIS to agriculture continually increases as advances in technology are continued. The increase of technology assists farmers in increasing production, reducing costs, and providing an effective means of managing land resources.
