Smart farming systems are driving the next revolution in agrifood systems by combining sustainable practices with data, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and precision agriculture to improve farm management and productivity. These innovations enable more informed decision-making, optimize the use of water, fertilizers, pesticides, energy and other inputs, and strengthen soil, land and ecosystem health. By making agriculture more efficient, resilient and resource-smart, smart farming supports higher productivity while reducing environmental impacts. It also creates new opportunities for youth and women’s entrepreneurship, strengthens digital skills, and accelerates the adoption of context-adapted, scalable solutions that can improve livelihoods, particularly for small-scale farmers. https://www.fao.org/events/detail/global-conference-on-smart-farming/en Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=FAOoftheUN Follow FAO on social media! * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/UNFAO * Instagram - https://instagram.com/fao * LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fao * TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fao * Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/fao/ * Weibo - https://www.weibo.com/unfao © FAO: http://www.fao.org #SDGs #Agenda2030 #GlobalGoals
