ABSTRACT
Due to the rising global population, farmers must work harder to produce enough food. In this century, farmers must overcome numerous difficulties. In addition to dealing with climate change, they must also accept and understand new technology, increase farm productivity, and satisfy the demands of an expanding population. To fulfill the increased demand for food worldwide, farmers in rural areas should increase production despite the lack of workforce. The majority of food produced is not eaten. Food waste also drives up resource and labor demands, which are essential to agriculture. This chapter explores the factors driving the rise in global food demand as well as how farmers are embracing Agriculture 4.0, the agricultural industry’s revolution. Upcoming agriculture will rely on smart farming, which employs cutting-edge IoT techniques to solve all the problems encountered by producers. Agro businesses should overcome the demographic transition, the effect of greenhouse gases from agricultural lands, and the impact of climate change. Future farming should address these challenges by adapting to modern techniques and technology at affordable prices. New techniques like urban farming, minimizes food miles by producing products nearer to the consumers and vertical farming, crops are grown vertically, requiring less water, soil, 360and space has shown impressive results in the adapted countries. Genetic engineering, and applying 3D printing technologies help up new possibilities, automated cooking, induces nutrition value, as well as these techniques, reduce food wastage. Following integrated cross-industry technologies like IoT, nanotechnologies, drone technology, and blockchain in agriculture helps to produce high-yield crops in lowering expenses. As precision agriculture expands and farmland becomes more networked, efficiency and production will rise in the future.
