Cyber Physical Systems in Agriculture

Abstract

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For the agricultural sector GHG originates from production, storage, processing, packaging, transportation, and distribution, as well as crop residue burning. For the agriculture-driven land use changes GHG originates from the conversion of forest, grassland, peatland, and wetland to agricultural lands. Climate impact. Agricultural GHG emissions are responsible for a third of globally anthropogenic emissions, contributing to climate change (increased temperature, changes in precipitation patterns, intensified extreme weather events, and reduced water availability) and climate-driven socioeconomic and environmental changes.
