Abstract
According to Food Agriculture Organization, by 2050 the world population will outnumber 9 billion people; it will be a must to increase food production by a 70%, compared to 2009 performances. At the same time, farmers are striving to increase crops / farms production while maximizing profits and minimizing costs without sacrificing product quality, and reducing waste of natural resources and use of chemicals, having a higher focus on sustainability to reduce environment impact. So, the motto here is Produce more with less. Agriculture 4.0 arises in this context with the aim of better management of the different crops / farms, predicting the health of the plants and their needs, keeping track of the processes carried out and the data obtained in order to improve production.
The Precision Farming technique is the key which gives farmers a boost to face and win this challenge
