The 2007 International Conference on Precision Conservation provides a forum for presentations on the current status of precision Conservation research, such as new technology for BMP、 recent research results on soil and ground-water protection. The Conference facilitates interaction among research scientists, producers, software developers, educators, government personnel and policymakers.

On the conference the recent precision agriculture and its technical ideas in western countries will be summarized at first, then the similarities and difference between precision agriculture and agricultural eco-engineering in China will be compared. The Conference also highlights significant research and applications in precision agriculture, and will showcase emerging technologies and information management. They offer oral presentations and exhibits, as well as opportunities for discussion and exchange of information in various aspects of precision Conservation.
