Agricultural Automation and Innovative Agricultural Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Delivering the European Green Deal and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has highlighted the importance of agricultural transition employing and realizing innovative agricultural systems, digitalization and automation. Present technological development is very fast, but still not implemented enough in the agricultural sector. Innovations and automation are the way to assure healthy food production, sustainable use of resources, climate change mitigation and adaptation aiming to save the planet for future generations. Researchers play a very important role in answering questions and helping to implement innovation adaptations in practice. In this Special Issue, we invite you to share the results of your high-quality research of innovative agrotechnologies, using novel preparations and equipment, automation, robotization, digitalization, ICT, sensors in agricultural systems, application precision agriculture, smart agricultural engineering in conventional, sustainable and organic crop production, horticulture, animal husbandry, and primary processing.
