Precision Agriculture is gaining traction in Africa with an active conference and society present on the continent. However, information relating to precision agriculture in Africa is still scarce and scattered, particularly its relevance and application to small-holder agriculture. This book brings together experts who are driving the precision agriculture evolution in Africa to address the technical, innovation, societal and educational opportunities and needs of precision agriculture in an African context. In doing so, it generates a baseline of precision agriculture activity in Africa and forms a key reference text to support technical and further education in precision agriculture across the continent. The target audience for the book is industry personnel and technical and tertiary level agricultural teaching courses. The book will also be a valuable resource for early adopters and innovative producers in Africa.
