    <subfield code="a">&lt;p&gt;Feeding 10 billion people by 2050 will require transformative changes to our food production systems&lt;sup&gt;1, 2&lt;/sup&gt;. Climate change&lt;sup&gt;3-6&lt;/sup&gt;, water scarcity and urban demand&lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt;, herbicide-resistant weeds&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt;, and declining soil&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt; and water quality&lt;sup&gt;10,11&lt;/sup&gt; are increasing crop production risks, lowering yields, and negatively impacting the environment. The increased use of sustainable agricultural practices &amp;nbsp;such as reduced-tillage&lt;sup&gt;12&lt;/sup&gt;, diversified crop rotations&lt;sup&gt;13&lt;/sup&gt;, and integrated weed management especially through incorporation of cover crops&lt;sup&gt;14&lt;/sup&gt;, are necessary to achieve this goal. However, farmers repeatedly cite management complexity and a need for site- and system-specific information to overcome the barriers to adoption&lt;sup&gt;15, 16&lt;/sup&gt;. Sustainable agriculture thus demands precision tools to account for genetic and environmental nuances in complex, adaptive, agricultural systems, while simultaneously responding to the social, technological, and economic contexts of farming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Precision Sustainable Agriculture&lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;17&lt;/sup&gt; uses a data-driven and human-centered approach to the research and development of on-farm monitoring tools, cloud-based, information management tools for large-scale agricultural research projects, decision support tools for agriculture data stakeholders, and modeling and analysis tools for use in sustainable agriculture. We are laying the foundation of an information ecology&lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt; for sustainable agriculture: a system of tools, data, methods, and actors to maximize farm productivity, profitability, and sustainability.&lt;/p&gt;
