Agrotechnology is an open access publication, and all of the articles are subjected to expert peer review. Through its open access guiding concept for top-notch academic work, the journal aims to publish and get a deserving impact factor by ensuring timely awareness. The aim of the eclectic as well as narrowly focused Agrotechnology journal is to publish highly qualified papers from basic, fundamental, and applied Agrotechnology research advancements. Journal Agrotechnology is an academic publication that aims to publish the most thorough and trustworthy sources of information on new discoveries and advancements in all areas of the field in the form of original articles, review articles, case studies, short communications, etc. and make them freely accessible online to researchers all over the world without any restrictions or other subscriptions. In modern agriculture, innovation is more crucial than ever. The sector as a whole is confronted with formidable obstacles, including growing supply prices, a workforce scarcity, and shifting customer desires for transparency and sustainability. Agriculture firms are becoming more and more aware that these problems require answers. The most significant technological advancements in this field have been in fields like indoor vertical farming, automation and robotics, livestock technology, contemporary greenhouse techniques, precision agriculture and artificial intelligence, blockchain, and animal technology. Indoor vertical farming may boost crop yields, circumvent land-use restrictions, and even lessen the environmental effect of farming by reducing supply-chain travel distance. Growing food in a controlled, enclosed environment as it is piled one on top of the other is known as indoor vertical farming. In comparison to conventional farming techniques, employing growing shelves that are installed vertically greatly minimises the quantity of area needed to cultivate plants. Because it can flourish in a small area, this sort of growth is frequently linked to urban farming. In some configurations, vertical farms are unusual because no soil is needed for plant growth. Most are either hydroponic (vegetables are grown in a bowl of nutrient-rich water) or aeroponic (water and nutrients are routinely sprayed on the plant roots). Artificial grow lights are utilised in place of natural sunshine. Numerous approaches to improve crop observation and care are made possible by connectivity. By more precisely recognising and forecasting shortfalls, integrating meteorological data with irrigation, fertiliser, and other systems may optimise resource usage and increase yields. Soil condition sensors, for instance, may interact with sprinkler controllers through LPWAN to regulate water and fertiliser delivery. In order to help farmers make better, more timely decisions and receive early indications of issues like disease or pests, sensors might also send pictures from remote areas of fields. In large-scale livestock management, where most animals are maintained in close quarters on a schedule that guarantees they pass efficiently through a highly automated processing system, preventing disease outbreaks and recognising animals in distress are crucial. Chips and bodily sensors that monitor things like blood pressure, pulse, and temperature might identify infections early, reducing the risk of spreading them to herds and enhancing food safety. Farmers currently use ear-tag technology from suppliers like Smartbow (a division of Zoetis) to track the whereabouts, health, and temperature of their cows, or technology from firms like Allflex to adopt thorough electronic tracing in the event of disease outbreaks.
