Information and communication technology (ICT) has always mattered in agriculture. Ever since people have grown crops, raised livestock, and caught fish, they have sought information from one another. Today, ICT represents a tremendous opportunity for rural populations to improve productivity, to enhance food and nutrition security, to access markets, and to find employment opportunities in a revitalized sector. ICT has unleashed incredible potential to improve agriculture, and it has found a foothold even in poor smallholder farms. ICT in Agriculture, Updated Edition is the revised version of the popular ICT in Agriculture e-Sourcebook, first launched in 2011 and designed to support practitioners, decision makers, and development partners who work at the intersection of ICT and agriculture. Our hope is that this updated Sourcebook will be a practical guide to understanding current trends, implementing appropriate interventions, and evaluating the impact of ICT interventions in agricultural programs.

The Information and Communication Technologies in Agriculture, Food and Environment themed issue focuses on the potential role and impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on Agriculture, Food and Environment. Papers presented in this special issue were originally presented in the 5th International Conference held in September 8-11, 2011, Skiathos Island, Greece. The conference was organized by the Hellenic Association of ICT in Agriculture, Food and the Environment (HAICTA) member of the European Federation for Information Technology in Agriculture, Food and the Environment. In the agricultural sector (including food and environment), in contrast to other sectors, adoption rates and general uptake of ICT-based applications have been rather slow and low despite the well documented potential benefits. The papers in this special issue are applied research papers which demonstrate ICTOCOs relevance for the sector."

Precision agriculture integrates new technologies with the agronomic experience to intelligently manage the high spatial variability of all agricultural variables and the time scales at which these variables change. The right application of this approach increases the size and quality of the agricultural production; saves resources; improves environmental quality; helps to achieve self-sufficiency, food security, and agricultural sustainability; increases exports; and more. Precision Agriculture Technologies for Food Security and Sustainability is an essential reference source that compiles a comprehensive, multidisciplinary review of current research in the field of precision agriculture. It also discusses cutting-edge tools and models that can help facilitate and improve the systems implementation. Featuring coverage of a wide range of topics including agronomy, public policy, and internet of things, this book is ideally designed for agriculturalists, government officials, economists, environmentalists, academicians, researchers, students, and engineers in the fields of electronics, ICT, and agriculture.
