Special Issue Introduction
The agriculture landscape is currently undergoing a transition into an intelligent and digital era, where substantial data and information are captured and processed by intelligent systems and robots, and actionable decisions are made based on quantitative and qualitative data analytic results. While traditional agriculture methods have been used with great success until recently, the deluge of AI and robotic technology has started to create a new way of farming, which is called smart agriculture and precision livestock farming (PLA). Smart agriculture and PLA place more emphasis on practicality rather than conceptualization.
In our modern world, the challenges, such as feeding a large population, deteriorating climate change, unsustainable development, and more, could lead to negative long-term impacts on human beings if not properly handled. To address these issues, the main goal of smart agriculture and PLA is to save labor, improve efficiency, ensure food safety, and foster sustainable agriculture practices, ultimately promoting healthy and eco-friendly productions for human beings. The main research topics include but are not limited to the technological and equipment innovation achievements of artificial intelligence and robotics technology in fields such as field planting, facility planting, livestock and poultry farming, and aquaculture. The Special Issue aims to explore and exchange the latest achievements in fundamental theoretical innovation, key technology research, and development in agriculture, animal husbandry, and aquaculture.
