Smart agriculture applications (monitoring, sensing, automation and control) of micro-climate and environmental conditions for different agriculture production sectors and scales, decision-makers and researchers need to take it into consideration to strengthen the efforts of mitigation and adaption of climate change impacts as well as maximize the natural resources use efficiencies and food production. Motivate the farmers to implement smart agriculture applications, especially in developed and poor countries, strong cooperation for technology transfer and build up the technology infrastructure of information and communication (ICT) plus the internet of things (IoT).

Smart agriculture motivates more farmers every day via different applications with a view of maximizing food production as well as minimizing the climate change impacts, COVID-19 crisis, and natural resources shortages. Developing the agricultural production process based on smart agriculture and IoT technology has become extremely vital to preserve natural resources, increase sustainability and ecological agricultural food production, and satisfy food security demands. Smart agriculture is mainly based on sensing and monitoring micro-climate and environmental data (collection) and analysis. Data collected from different sources (internet, remote sensing database, and sensors) can provide a wealth of information for agriculture operators, allowing them to take appropriate actions in a timely manner. Developing microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators integrated with IoT to include all agricultural procedures especially in developed countries become more necessary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
