Agribusiness refers to the business of agricultural production, including everything from farming and livestock production to food processing, distribution, and marketing. It involves the integration of all the activities involved in producing and distributing agricultural products, from the initial production stages to the final consumer. Agribusiness is an important sector of the economy, particularly in developing countries where agriculture is a major contributor to gross domestic product (GDP) and employment. The concept of agribusiness is often associated with the application of modern technologies and management practices to improve the efficiency and profitability of agricultural production and marketing.The modern agribusiness approach is a more advanced and technologically-driven method of farming that has emerged in recent decades. It involves the use of modern technologies and practices to maximize yields, increase efficiency, and improve profitability. Some key elements of modern agribusiness approach include: Large-scale farming, Mechanization, Use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, Dependence on irrigation, Use of genetically modified crops, Data-driven decision-making, Integration of marketing and supply chain management, and ect.The modern agribusiness approach reflects the increasing importance of technology and efficiency in agriculture. Innovations in agribusiness are driving significant changes in the agriculture industry, with new technologies, business models, and approaches emerging to improve sustainability, increase yields, and reduce costs. Precision farming techniques, such as the use of drones and sensors, are helping farmers to monitor crop health and soil conditions in real-time, while new plant varieties are being developed to better withstand pests and climate change. Circular economy approaches that reduce waste and optimize resource use are also gaining traction, creating new opportunities for collaboration and partnership. These innovations are helping to shape the future of agribusiness, and those who embrace them will be best positioned to succeed in the years ahead.

THE DIGITAL AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION The book integrates computational intelligence, applied artificial intelligence, and modern agricultural practices and will appeal to scientists, agriculturists, and those in plant and crop science management. There is a need for synergy between the application of modern scientific innovation in the area of artificial intelligence and agriculture, considering the major challenges from climate change consequences viz. rising temperatures, erratic rainfall patterns, the emergence of new crop pests, drought, flood, etc. This volume reports on high-quality research (theory and practice including prototype & conceptualization of ideas, frameworks, real-world applications, policy, standards, psychological concerns, case studies, and critical surveys) on recent advances toward the realization of the digital agriculture revolution as a result of the convergence of different disruptive technologies. The book touches upon the following topics which have contributed to revolutionizing agricultural practices. Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture (AI models and architectures, system design, real-world applications of AI, machine learning and deep learning in the agriculture domain, integration & coordination of systems and issues & challenges). IoT and Big Data Analytics Applications in Agriculture (theory & architecture and the use of various types of sensors in optimizing agriculture resources and final product, benefits in real-time for crop acreage estimation, monitoring & control of agricultural produce). Robotics & Automation in Agriculture Systems (Automation challenges, need and recent developments and real case studies). Intelligent and Innovative Smart Agriculture Applications (use of hybrid intelligence in better crop health and management). Privacy, Security, and Trust in Digital Agriculture (government framework & policy papers). Open Problems, Challenges, and Future Trends. Audience Researchers in computer science, artificial intelligence, electronics engineering, agriculture automation, crop management, and science.

The world population is increasing significantly, and is expected to reach almost 10 billion in the year 2050. At the same time, observed climate change is accelerating and strongly affecting agricultural production. These aspects, as well as the latest socioeconomic limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, bring new challenges to modern agriculture and the need to have high production efficiency combined with a high quality of obtained products in accordance with the principles of sustainable production. This applies to both crop and livestock production, as well as the other domains related to food production. To meet these challenges, advanced digital innovation techniques are more and more frequently being used, including those based on machine learning, artificial neural networks, the Internet of things (IoT), and big data. They are widely applied in solving various optimization tasks in the agri-food production processes in the context of the increasing use of precision and digital farming technologies on the path from Agriculture 3.0 to 5.0. The publications in this Special Issue include original research, research concepts, communications, and reviews related to digital innovation in the agri-food sector.
