Smart farming is a new concept that refers to managing farms or
plantations using modern technologies such to increase the
productivity of agriculture in more sustainable approaches. On the
other side, sustainable agriculture is a concept of meeting current
food demands without jeopardizing future generations' ability to
meet their own requirements. The usage of smart farming to sustain
agricultural production has been widely used in Western countries
