Abstract

The Population of the world is now eight billion people, but it is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 due to ongoing population growth [1] . A population of this size confronts several challenges, the most significant being the requirement for expanded global food production to meet nutritional demands. Due to the inefficient use of natural resources that overburdens the ecosystem, traditional agricultural practices are thought to be unable to meet these demands [2] . We are, thus, forced to adopt more ecologically friendly agricultural methods. By lowering the need for external inputs and assisting farmers in coping with unfavorable weather, which is becoming more frequent due to climate change, smart farming technologies (SFTs) can increase crop output in a sustainable manner, enhancing its resilience and lowering carbon dioxide emissions. The United States had a $91 \%$ acceptance rate for SFT as of 2020 [3] , with Canada, Australia, and other European nations lagging behind as the most adopting nations. A wider use of SFT is needed to achieve the objective of feeding the world’s population sustainably, even if certain emerging nations are accelerating their adoption rates.
欧洲智能农业的采用情况
目前世界人口为 80 亿,但由于人口持续增长,预计到 2050 年将达到 97 亿[1]。如此规模的人口面临着若干挑战,其中最重要的是需要扩大全球粮食生产,以满足营养需求。由于自然资源的低效利用给生态系统造成了过重的负担,传统的农业生产方式被认为无法满足这些需求 [2]。因此,我们不得不采用更有利于生态的农业方法。通过降低对外部投入的需求,协助农民应对因气候变化而日益频繁的不利天气,智能农业技术(SFTs)能够以可持续的方式提高作物产量,增强作物的抗逆性,降低二氧化碳排放量。截至 2020 年,美国对智能农业技术的接受率为 91% 美元[3],而加拿大、澳大利亚和其他欧洲国家则落在后面,成为采用智能农业技术最多的国家。要实现以可持续方式养活世界人口的目标,需要更广泛地使用可持续渔业,即使某些新兴国家正在加快采用率。
