| Summary: | As climate change and population growth intensify, the agricultural sector’s need for sustainable solutions is
paramount. This paper presents an overview of smart agriculture, a strategy leveraging technology and data
analytics, and its potential to advance sustainability socially, economically, and environmentally. Drawing on
recent research, we examine the integration of smart technologies in agriculture, their impact on sustainability,
and the architectural design and key factors influencing their adoption. We critically review the literature on the
effectiveness of smart agriculture, illuminating how smart farming strategies can curb environmental harm,
stimulate economic growth, and promote social inclusivity. We identify existing research gaps and propose di
rections for future investigation, emphasising the need for rigorous studies on implementation strategies and
long-term impacts of smart agriculture on rural landscapes. Our comprehensive overview aims to engage and
guide diverse stakeholders, enhancing understanding of sustainable agriculture practices and encouraging more
sustainable farming implementations. This paper contributes to global efforts towards harvesting a sustainable
future. |
