Sustainable and eco-friendly innovation in an era of smart agricultural farming: Its applications, present role and future advancements
Abstract : In the 21st century, enhancing agricultural production to feed a predicted 10 billion people and guarantee food security is the biggest problem facing society. Global population explosion and food scarcity are two of the largest obstacles to long-term sustainable development. As a consequence, modern technical developments like smart farming have enabled great increases in agricultural production, leading to the third green revolution and breakthroughs in farming practices. Using information and communication technologies in agricultural production, smart farming (SF) seeks to increase resource efficiency. Smart innovations in agriculture, such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Kisan drones, automated tractors, automated irrigation, automated weather prediction, and remote sensing (GIS and GPS), can effectively address global problems. The appropriate application of this technology in conjunction with the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to improve farmers' quality of life by increasing their production and earnings, which is a positive indication of long-term food security. Intelligent farming may save expenses, boost output, and stimulate youth development by creating high-quality jobs, all of which contribute to a healthy food system. This review will emphasize these advancements to provide a better understanding of how agriculture has changed into smart farming and how it may help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. A lack of application skills, expensive expenses, and restricted internet connections are some of the obstacles that smart farming still faces when it comes to conversion and adaptation.
