Research Progress and Challenges of Agricultural Information Technology

Dear Colleagues,

The use of technology in the agricultural industry has seen significant progress in recent years, with new developments in precision farming, data management, and automation. However, the integration of technology into the agricultural sector also presents numerous challenges. This Special Issue focuses on the research progress and challenges of agricultural information technology, and explore the latest developments and innovations in this rapidly evolving field.

The Special Issue on the application of geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing technology in agricultural research aims to bring together the latest research and developments in the use of these technologies to advance the field of agriculture.

GIS and remote sensing technology have become increasingly important tools in the study of agriculture and related fields, providing valuable insights and data that can be used to improve crop yield, optimize land use, and monitor the effects of climate change on agricultural systems.

The Special Issue will feature original research articles, review articles, and case studies on the application of GIS and remote sensing technology in agriculture, covering but not limited to the following topics:

• The use of GIS and remote sensing to develop precision agriculture systems
• The integration of GIS and remote sensing data with other agricultural data sets
• The application of GIS and remote sensing in crop monitoring and yield prediction
• The role of GIS and remote sensing in natural resource management, including water, soil, and biodiversity conservation
• The use of GIS and remote sensing to study the impacts of climate change on agriculture

The Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research and developments in the application of GIS and remote sensing technology in agricultural research and will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of agriculture and related fields.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. AgriEngineering is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
