“…Research in this area has mainly focused on four aspects: (1) The impact of agricultural digitization on the sustainable development of crops. Many scholars have confirmed that digitization can improve crop production efficiency [ 14 ], increase fertilizer utilization [ 15 ], reduce pesticide use [ 16 , 17 ], and reduce greenhouse gas emissions [ 18 ] by promoting the use of certain digital technologies, such as variable rate of scanning sensors, spatially variable pest applications, and variable rate irrigation, thereby promoting sustainable agricultural development [ 19 ]. These research results suggest that agricultural digitization can reduce carbon emissions.…”
