Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement of technologies for the development of systems and the interpretation of information on geographic representation and remote sensing has allowed for progress in understanding soil and vegetation conditions, enabling the rational management of productive areas and the optimization of agricultural production. In this perspective, this special edition, entitled “Precision Farming: GIS and Remote Sensing for Crop Management Optimization”, seeks to bring together studies that highlight the strategic role of computational tools for capturing, processing, and interpreting agricultural data in improving sustainable and intelligent practices aimed at better land use in agricultural practice.
The topics to be addressed include the following:
- Data integration in the context of precision agriculture;
- Satellite images, obtained by drones and field sensors, and their importance in crop monitoring and management;
- Computational models for interpreting spatial data collected in the field;
- Specialized software and platforms used in the context of precision agriculture and remote sensing;
- Integration of spatial and temporal information in the context of operational, economic, and environmental efficiency;
- Use of methodologies based on big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to precision agriculture;
In this Special Issue, the journal reaffirms its commitment to promoting the dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge focused on precision agriculture, and it is expected that the articles will inspire new research and collaborations, strengthening the role of GIS and remote sensing for crop management optimization.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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 monthly 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 1800 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.
