Abstract

The application of smart technology in agriculture is a kind of third green revolution in the development of agricultural production. The authors believe that agricultural production must be organized in a modern way. The application of smart technology in agriculture represents the future of production. This attitude is quite acceptable if one takes into account that smart agriculture meets modern food production trends that require great efficiency in the use of all elements involved in production. It is precisely the efficiency of agriculture that is viewed through the achieved level of productivity, which is observed through the ratio of the number of employees and the volume of arable land, but also through the use of modern technologies used in production. In this sense, smart agriculture is a modern technology that can respond to current problems that exist on the world and are related to food production. The application of intelligent technology in agriculture is carried out through an Internet system through essential sensory networks through which applications are administered to various agricultural systems such as irrigation, fertilizing, spraying, etc. Climate change affects the change in agricultural production as well as food production, which certainly influences the transformation of the entire agriculture. Climate change, on the other hand, supports the development of smart precision agriculture, because precise agriculture can be adequately addressed. At the end of the paper, the authors gave results of research related to the knowledge and possibilities of applying smart technology in agriculture in the Republic of Serbia. The aim at the research is to gain insight into how many agricultural producers know about the benefits that smart technology provides in with production.
