scientific farming
Data-driven crop cultivation
Scientific farming is agriculture guided by research and data rather than tradition alone.
It applies findings from soil science, genetics, meteorology, and economics to increase yields and efficiency: Scientific farming transformed American agriculture in the twentieth century.
The term often appears in historical contexts, when systematic approaches to crops and livestock were novel.
