The information that crops offer is turned into profitable decisions only when efficiently
managed. Current advances in data management are making Smart Farming grow …

Agriculture is both the site of development of important new technologies and a key area of
application of technologies developed elsewhere. It is little wonder, then, that many thinkers …

We discuss recent trends in agricultural productivity in Africa and highlight how
technological progress in agriculture has stagnated on the continent. We briefly review the …

Precision farming enables agricultural management decisions to be tailored spatially and
temporally. Site-specific sensing, sampling, and managing allow farmers to treat a field as a …

Smart agriculture–ie., the increasing use of information technologies, sensors, autonomous
vehicles, data analytics, predictive modelling, and other digital technologies related to …

This article analyzes the rise of precision technologies for agriculture—specifically digital
farming and plant genome editing—and their implications for the politics of environmental …

Precision agricultural technologies (PATs) allow more detailed management of in-field
variability. Policy and advisory communities have championed PATs as a route to preserving …

In recent years unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a popular and cost-
effective technology to capture high spatial and temporal resolution remote sensing (RS) …

Abstract Smart Farming Technologies (SFTs) can improve production output while
minimising costs and preserving resources; however, they are scarcely adopted by farmers …

This article extends social science research on big data and data platforms through a focus
on agriculture, which has received relatively less attention than other sectors like health. In …
