Digitization has an important effect on the agricultural sector for quite some time. This development can be described through the concept of smart farming. Smart farming in agriculture includes implementation of automatically controlled systems in agricultural machines, monitoring of the yields and various ways of seed drilling and fertilizer spreading. The right amount of seeds and fertilizers as well as adequate irrigation requirement can be determined based on soil and field data, weather history and yield data.

In addition, smart farming integrates agronomy, human resource management, personnel deployment, purchases, risk management, warehousing, logistics, maintenance, marketing and yield calculation into a single system.
