Conventional agriculture refers to traditional farming practices that rely on uniform application of inputs like fertilizers and pesticides across entire fields. Precision agriculture, on the other hand, utilizes modern technologies like GPS, sensors, and data analysis to optimize inputs and management practices based on site-specific conditions within a field. This targeted approach allows for more efficient use of resources, reduced waste, and improved crop yields. According to the [National Institute of Food and Agriculture](https://nifa.usda.gov/topic/precision-agriculture), precision agriculture can increase profitability while minimizing environmental impact.
