Precision conservation involves utilizing a set of tools in agriculture that can help meet the great challenges of this century including a growing world population, increasing demand for food and biofuels, global climate change, and the global water crisis.  Precision conservation seeks to efficiently target conservation practices at specific locations within landscapes where they can help maintain or improve soil quality, increase crop productivity, and protect water and air resources.   The objective of this paper is to discuss ways in which cutting edge techniques (e.g., cloud computing, geospatial analysis, environmental modeling, and precision technologies) could help facilitate precision conservation management.
