Site-specific agriculture has been adopted in a high-tech context using, for
instance, in situ sensors, satellite images for remote sensing analysis, and some other
technological devices. However, farmers and smallholders without the economic resources
and required knowledge to use and to access the latest technology seem to find an
impediment to precision agricultural practices. This article discusses the possibility of
adopting precision agriculture (PA) principles for site-specific management but in a low
technology context for such farmers. The proposed methodology to support PA combines
low technology dependency and a participatory approach by involving smallholders,
farmers and experts. The case studies demonstrate how the interplay of low technology and
a participative approach may be suitable for smallholders for site-specific agriculture
analysis. [-]
