“…Climate Friendly Agriculture/Digital + Regenerative Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA), an approach for sustainable food security, refers to the "actions needed to transform and reorient agricultural systems to effectively support development and ensure food security in a changing climate". The three main objectives of CSA include: sustainably increasing agricultural productivity, development, and incomes; adapting and building resilience to climate change (from farm to nation); and reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions and/or increasing carbon sinks [33][34][35].…”

From connected sensors in soils, on animals or crops, and on drones, to various software and services that are available, “smart” technologies are changing the way farming is carried out. These technologies allow producers to look beyond what the eye can see by collecting non-traditional data and then using analytics tools to improve both food sustainability and profitability. “Smart Agriculture/farming” (SA) or “Digital Agriculture” (DA), often used interchangeably, refer to precision agriculture that is thus connected in a network of sensing and acting. It is a concept that employs modern information technologies, precision climate information, and crop/livestock developmental information to connect production variables to increase the quantity and quality of agricultural and food products. This is achieved by measuring and analyzing variables accurately, feeding the information into the cloud from edge devices, extracting trends from the various data, and subsequently providing information back to the producer in a timely manner. Smart agriculture covers many disciplines, including biology, mechanical engineering, automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and information technology-digital platforms. Minimum standards have been proposed for stakeholders with the aim to move toward this highly anticipated and ever-changing revolution. These foundational standards encompass the following general categories, including precise articulation of objectives, and baseline standards for the Internet of Things (IoT), including network infrastructure (e.g., stable 4G or 5G networks or a wireless local area network (WLAN) are available to end users). To sum up, SA aims to improve production efficiency, enhance the quality and quantity of agricultural products, reduce costs, and improve the environmental footprint of the industry. SA’s ecosystem should be industry self-governed and collaboratively financed. SA stakeholders and end-users’ facilities should meet standard equipment requirements, such as sensor accuracy, end data collectors, relevant industry compliant software, and trusted data analytics. The SA user is willing to be part of the SA ecosystem. This short perspective aims to summarize digital/smart agriculture concept in plain language.

“…Although research on Salicornia L. might result in new approaches and best practices for sustainable agriculture and development, partnerships and collaborations among many stakeholders could serve to stimulate investment and scale up production and distribution of Salicornia L. products, while also addressing the unique challenges faced by farmers in different countries (Table 3) (Aronson, 1985). Salicornia L. might provide a variety of advantages for sustainable development, including community-based natural resource management, ecotourism, climate-smart agriculture, and inclusive economic growth (Herbert et al, 2015;Hamed et al, 2021;Ventura and Sagi, 2013;Blore, 2015;Arif et al, 2020;Aziz et al, 2022).…”

Halophyte plant Salicornia has potential uses in farming and environmental management. Salicornia is one of the most important families of halophytes and known for its exceptional salt tolerance. It thrives well in saline habitats near coastal areas. A comprehensive review paper provides an overview of Salicornia, including details on the impact of temperature and salinity on the germination of different ecotypes, as well as the influence of day length and salinity on seedling establishment. Salicornia L. presents a promising opportunity for sustainable agriculture and economic development as it may improve the lives and livelihoods of underprivileged groups while also benefiting the environment through carbon sequestration, soil preservation, and biodiversity preservation.
