Background:

Ensuring global food security and sustainable agriculture practices is a pressing challenge. The implementation of smart manufacturing principles in the agricultural sector plays a vital role in addressing these concerns. Strategic planning is essential to optimize resource allocation, improve supply chain management, and enhance productivity. Advanced technologies such as precision agriculture, IoT-enabled farming systems, and data-driven decision-making enable efficient resource utilization, crop monitoring, and yield optimization. Additionally, investment in research and development initiatives focused on sustainable agricultural practices, climate-resilient crops, and innovative farming techniques strengthens food security efforts and promotes sustainable agricultural ecosystems.
