Digital Twin Greenhouse Technologies for Commercial Farmers

Abstract

Technology integration between the farm and the consumer is at the heart of digital agriculture. New technologies for developing countries, such as vertical indoor farming that uses automation and robots, might speed up the elimination of rural poverty and hunger worldwide. Significant technical developments include state-of-the-art greenhouse techniques, laser-guided precision farming, AI, and blockchain. Connected farm machinery collects data that may then be used to research the soil and climate of a given area, allowing experts to offer advice on seed selection and the optimal timing for applying pesticides and fertilizers. One of the most widely used innovations of the previous century was the mobile phone. The use of digital technology will improve communication between consumers and farmers. The public now has more accessible access to information on farming because of the wealth of data collected on crops and livestock. Smart farming’s impact on crop yields will be seen in the long term.
