Session Proposal: Optimizing Natural Resources for Agricultural Sustainability: Technological Advances and Applications (AGU25)

H112
Optimizing Natural Resources for Agricultural Sustainability: Technological Advances and Applications

Session ID#: 252257

Session Description:
Agriculture is transitioning into its third revolution, driven by the need to sustainably increase productivity, nutrition, and climate resilience to feed nearly 10 billion people by 2050.This shift demands adaptive strategies that conserve vital resources, particularly soil and water. Soil degradation and inefficient water use undermine agricultural resilience and ecosystem health. This session explores the intersections of agriculture, soil, water, and climate, and highlights the role of technology in sustainable farming. We invite contributions in three areas: (1) Studies examining the physical and chemical processes that govern soil and water dynamics in agricultural systems; (2) Innovations in tools and methodologies that enhance resource use efficiency, including precision agriculture technologies, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for monitoring, and advanced modeling techniques for watershed and soil health assessment; and (3) Case studies demonstrating the application of these technologies in specific agricultural contexts.
