Digital technologies to ensure sustainable agriculture

Abstract

The global demand for agricultural products is expected to double in the near future due to increasing population and improving health, implying that the agricultural sector needs to increase its production while adhering to sustainability standards. Sustainable agriculture focuses on safeguarding the environment, improving the quality of life of farmers, and maintaining or increasing food production levels. To this end, the application of artificial intelligence in agriculture is essential through the use of digital technologies such as precision agriculture, remote sensing, robots, information systems for agricultural management and decision support systems. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to show how digital technologies based on artificial intelligence are and will be contributing to generating sustainable agriculture in the coming years.
