Digital Agriculture: Agricultural Informatics

“As agriculture faces growing pressures from climate change, population growth, and resource limitations, the role of digital technology in farming has never been more critical. Digital Agriculture: Agricultural Informatics introduces readers to the cutting-edge tools and innovations reshaping modern agriculture—from artificial intelligence and remote sensing to IoT, GIS, and big data analytics.

This book explores how informatics and smart technologies can improve crop yields, reduce environmental impact, and empower farmers with data-driven decision-making. It examines the integration of digital systems across various farming practices, including precision agriculture, automated irrigation, pest management, soil monitoring, and agri-marketing.

With a strong focus on sustainability and rural development, the text also highlights entrepreneurial opportunities in agri-tech, role of mobile technologies, electrostatic spraying, robotics, and the critical contributions of ICT in knowledge dissemination.

Designed for students, researchers, and practitioners in agricultural sciences, environmental studies, and rural development, this textbook provides a balanced blend of theory, real-world case studies, and practical applications. It equips readers with the foundational knowledge needed to understand and implement digital solutions for a more resilient and efficient agricultural future.”
