Abstracts

The authors consider the key factors in the development of smart agriculture. These are technical and socio-economic factors. Technical factors are related to scientific and technical progress and innovations. In this connection, agriculture has undergone various historical developments, i.e. the evolution of agricultural techniques. It is a long historical path from manual tools to sophisticated smart technical systems. The development of smart agriculture, however, is strongly influenced by a complex set of economic and social factors, which determine the speed and extent of its implementation. There are many risks to this development path. The authors analyze in detail certain techniques and socio-economic factors of development. In the concluding remarks, they propose a multidisciplinary approach, an integral approach and a systemic approach in the development of this important, modern stage in the development of agriculture and rural development.

Keywords
