Digital agriculture, otherwise known as smart farming, enables the use of tools and technologies such as electronic devices, cloud computing, data analysis tools, machine learning, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence to make more meaningful and beneficial decisions in the field of farming. Digital agriculture is positively impacting food systems and helping to fulfill the global food demand.

Digital agriculture has transformed the agriculture sector by implementing emerging digital technologies such as e-commerce platforms, warehouse receipt systems, e-extension services, tractor rental apps, blockchain-enabled food traceability systems, and more. It also includes precision agriculture, which involves techniques such as yield mapping, carriable-rate application, GPS guidance systems, automation section control, satellite and drone imagery, agricultural robots, tracking systems, and others. The adoption of these technologies provides sustainable solutions to improve crop quality and better crop protection.
