Smart agriculture (also referred to as digital, precision or climate-smart agriculture or smart farming) is the use of modern advanced technology to improve the efficiency, quality, productivity, and sustainability of agricultural practices. These are tools used to digitally collect, store, analyze, and share electronic data and/or information in agriculture. Digital agriculture includes (but is not limited to) precision agriculture. However, unlike precision agriculture, digital agriculture impacts the entire agri-food value chain – before, during, and after on-farm production. Therefore, on-farm technologies like yield mapping, GPS guidance systems, and variable-rate application, fall under the domain of precision agriculture and digital agriculture. Under digital agriculture are e-commerce platforms, e-extension services, warehouse receipt systems, blockchain-enabled food traceability systems, tractor rental apps, but not under precision agriculture. This paper dives into the pros, cons, benefits, and the future prospects of smart agriculture.
