Sustainable Agriculture: Technologies, Application, and Practices provides readers with a foundational understanding of sustainable agriculture principles alongside the cutting-edge capabilities of artificial intelligence. Structured into six well-organized sections, the book begins with foundational concepts of sustainability and the enabling technologies that support them. This includes in-depth discussions on the principles of sustainability, the role of technology in enhancing agricultural practices, and the socioeconomic impacts of sustainable farming. Subsequent chapters look into practical applications, showcasing how smart irrigation, crop monitoring, and supply chain optimization can significantly bolster sustainable operations.
Each chapter provides case studies and practical strategies to ensure a thorough understanding of how artificial intelligence can revolutionize sustainable agriculture. This book serves as an essential resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students studying sustainable agriculture, agricultural technology, and environmental science.
