Next-Gen Smart Farming

Next-Gen Smart Farming: Integrating AI, IoT, Digital Twin and Robotics for Cyber-Physical Systems provides a cohesive overview of the actual benefits and potential dangers of using AI technologies in smart farming, balancing enthusiasm with appropriate cautions on their use. It demonstrates how the use of AI technology can provide valuable support for sustainable and economically, environmentally, and socially efficient management. Considering a smart farm as a cyber-physical system based on artificial intelligence techniques, it balances the use of new technologies in farming without neglecting the analysis of the economic, environmental, social and ethical impacts this use entails. An interdisciplinary work, produced using a holistic approach, this book will be valuable for researchers and scientists working in the area of digital agriculture for crop monitoring, AI applications in smart farming and related operations research.
