Smart agriculture technology are transforming farming techniques to solve the problem of feeding an expected world population of 9.7 billion by 2050. These modern technologies incorporate sensors, automation, artificial intelligence, and data analytics, changing old processes into efficient, data-driven, and sustainable agricultural systems. This article covers the ecosystem of smart technologies in agriculture, including major components such as networked hardware, sophisticated software, and integration systems that allow flawless coordination of agricultural activities. Precision agricultural applications, including crop monitoring, soil health analysis, and automated irrigation, illustrate the influence of these technologies on enhancing productivity and resource management. With breakthroughs in robotics and big data analytics, the smart agricultural industry is altering the workforce, investment plans, and security measures to facilitate wider technology adoption. Furthermore, continuing research in new technologies, such digital twins and blockchain, reveals future trends that promise to boost food security and environmental sustainability. Ultimately, smart agricultural technologies offer a key transition toward sustainable, resilient farming techniques required for addressing the world’s expanding food needs.
