On the other hand, theThe agricultural sector will not be able to provide the food needed by the population in 2050. On the other hand, the waste of manufactured products double this challenge. Therefore, one of the most important strategies for food security and prevention of waste of agricultural resources and inputs is smart farming. Smart farming is based on data collection, data transfer and storage in remote storage systems, and by analyzing and combining information, enables decision-making in the shortest possible time. Examples of technologies used in the paddy system include the use of smart machinery in paddy fields, smart management of plant diseases and weeds in paddy fields, and smart paddy irrigation. Smart farming increases the quantity and quality of products while optimizing the production and optimal use of manpower. Farm management uses smart technologies to boost agriculture and help reverse migration to rural areas. It also preserves environmental resources. Despite the many advantages of smart systems in farm management, there are two major challenges, including lack of access to a suitable Internet network in rural areas and the need for high skill and accuracy of the operators in smart farming. Necessary solutions have been provided too.
