Cover Story: The 1st international Precision Agriculture Pakistan Conference (PAPC) 2022 was held in person at PMAS-Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi (PMAS-AAUR), Pakistan. The PAPC provided opportunities to local researchers to collaborate with national and international researchers in the field of Digital and Precision Agriculture through oral and poster presentations, exhibits, field demonstrations, as well as discussions and the exchange of information. The world’s topmost Precision and Digital Agriculture researchers from Canada, China, USA, Australia, and Turkey gave keynote addresses during the PAPC 2022. The conference brought new ideas and research topics to solve arising problems in the agriculture sector, especially considering global climate change.
