Cover Story: While the world population continues to grow, increasing the need to produce more and better-quality food in addition to climate change, urban growth, and unsustainable agricultural practices accelerate the loss of available arable land, compromising the sustainability of agricultural land. This scenario highlights the urgent need for agricultural modernization as a crucial step to face forthcoming difficulties. The developed research contributes to increasing knowledge on the impact of using precision agriculture techniques to foster sustainable development in small Mediterranean farms, highlighting that the costs associated with the application of precision agriculture processes are largely surpassed by the economic gains achieved with their application in addition to the notorious environmental benefits introduced by the reduction of such crucial production inputs as water and fertilizer.
