The rapid rise in population, deteriorating natural resources, decreased agricultural land, and climate changes are ushering the agriculture system into a new era. The renovation of agriculture will require new techniques and tools to overcome hurdles of the system, and artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) can help do this.
