Digital future with agriculture 4.0

Abstract

Agriculture is one of the most important fields of activity necessary for human beings to survive. It is predicted that the problem of food demand will increase in the future with climate changes caused by global warming, reduction of natural resources, unconscious use of agricultural land, increasing population. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize the use of digital technologies for sustainable agriculture. In addition to increasing productivity in agriculture, methods to increase product quality and food safety should be developed. In response to the increasing population in agriculture, migration from villages to cities has led to a decrease in the number of people engaged in agriculture and consequently a decrease in agricultural production. With the development of technology, many methods are being developed for sustainable agriculture such as increasing productivity in the agricultural sector, producing quality seeds, protecting natural resources, and saving labor and production costs. Digital technologies such as precision agriculture, autonomous systems, agricultural robots, artificial intelligence, drone use, and image processing techniques are at the forefront.
