Abstract
Future farming has to provide high yields in order to feed the growing world population, but should do this with an environmental impact that is sustainable. With the limited resources of the planet earth, this dual challenge can only be met by precise adaptation to the locally varying conditions. And since the field boundaries by no means are precise environmental borders, this necessitates site-specific farming within single fields.
