Applications of Big Data and Machine Learning in Smart Agriculture
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart agriculture commonly integrates different innovative technologies such as sensors, global positioning systems (GPSs), big data analysis, the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and robots on farms. It is experiencing a rapid transformation from both a product and service perspective. The main aim of smart agriculture is to reduce human effort, achieve greater food self-sufficiency, and make best use of available resources. In recent years, the evolution and progress of research in machine learning and big data happens in almost all domains of smart agriculture. The potential of machine learning to be considered as a catalyst for all given agriculture application models and the capacity of the study of big data to provide rich and multi-source data from the field scale to global scale offer a challenging background for scientific contributions and applied fields. This Topic will focus on the added value of the latest innovative methods and studies in the specified field, especially the estimation of growth status and yield based on multisource data and machine learning. Our interest focuses on the entire spectrum of applications of big data and machine learning in smart agriculture. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following indicative list.
Prof. Dr. Xiuliang Jin
Dr. Hao Yang
Dr. Zhenhai Li
Dr. Changping Huang

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
