As technology continues to saturate modern society, agriculture has started to adopt digital computing and data-driven innovations. This emergence of "smart" farming has led to various advancements in the field, including autonomous equipment and the collection of climate, livestock, and plant data. As connectivity and data management continue to revolutionize the farming industry, empirical research is required to understand these technological developments. This book explores the applications of various artificial intelligence techniques by identifying and describing technical, functional, and non-functional future technologies for smart farming and agriculture. The book also presents practical application opportunities for the resolution of real-world problems, including contributions from precision irrigation, greenhouse data, livestock monitoring, automation, IoT ecosystems for agriculture, cloud computing, mobile robots for precision agriculture, remote sensing applications, anddata mining. In addition, this book provides summary information about different soilless techniques such as hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics, among others. This book is ideally designed for farmers, agriculturalists, product managers, farm holders, manufacturers, equipment suppliers, industrialists, governmental professionals, researchers, academicians, and students seeking current research on technological applications within agriculture and farming.
