1. Introduction

Smart agriculture can be understood as the use of information technology to carry out regular and quantitative management of agricultural production, and reasonable allocation of resources according to the growth laws of agricultural products to achieve highly efficient, low cost, high quality and environmentally friendly agriculture [1]. Smart agriculture is becoming increasingly important due to a combination of factors [2] such as: the impact of climate change on agriculture [3], the growing global population leading to increasing food demand [4], the issue of using natural resources effectively and thoroughly applying technology to agricultural production is an urgent requirement [5]. Smart agriculture is a solution that brings many benefits in increasing product value, limiting production costs and bringing high economic efficiency [6]. Smart agriculture helps enhance production control, leads to better cost management and reduced waste [7]. Smart agriculture is an ability to monitor abnormalities in crop growth or animal health eliminates the risk of lost productivity [8]. Smart agriculture can increase efficiency automatically by smart devices, multiple processes can be activated at the same time, and automated services improve product quality and volume by better controlling production processes [9].
Modern technology agriculture is an inevitable trend in world development [10]. Applying modern technology agriculture is an inevitable direction to create a breakthrough in productivity and quality of agricultural products [11]. Technological transformation and IoT solutions are required to develop agriculture on new heights [12]. The high technology must be applied in the short and long term to create a new turning point for agriculture [13]. Modern technologies combined with traditional values, will bring many sustainable values ​​in agriculture [14]. Technologies will create a breakthrough in product quality and productivity in agricultural [15]. It not only meets the growing needs of society but also creates sustainable development in the future [16]. High-tech agriculture includes many fields such as drone technology [17], automation technology [18] information technology [19], biotechnology [20] high-quality plant and animal breeding technology [21], organic fertilizer also brings high economic efficiency [22]. The application of high technology is a mandatory requirement according to the development trend because of context narrowing agricultural land area [23], increasing construction projects, transportation, commercial areas, apartment buildings [24]. Especially, the demand for food is increasing, typically clean agricultural products [25], land conditions are increasingly degraded due to the use and abuse of pesticides and the impact of climate change [26]. This leads to serious damage to agriculture and a lot of production costs [27]. The applying high technology brings outstanding efficiency [28]. Modern technology of agriculture can optimize the use of land, water and air resources [29]. Agricultural farming using high technology is based on data collected from diverse sensors in the field, help farmers accurately allocate resources needed for crop growth and development [30]. On another hand, modern technologies can help protect the land and water environment because it contribute to reducing waste and pesticides to the lowest level [31]. The applying of modern technology can help reduce production costs in agricultural production [32] High-tech agriculture not only helps farmers save water and energy [33,34] but it also makes agriculture greener [35]. It saves costs of labor hire and significantly reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers [36], the working efficiency is increased many times when compare to the previous manual method [37]. The harvested products are cleaner, better quality and more productive than with traditional agricultural methods [38]. This study is an important document that helps to summarize extremely practical and urgent values ​​in the application of high technology science in agricultural production. It opens up new directions of development, is the theoretical basis for developing of agricultural sector by sustainable, modern, and effective direction in line general development on the world.

3.1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Smart Agriculture

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines [39]. Typically, the term "artificial intelligence" is often used to describe master machines (or computers) capable of imitating "cognitive" functions that humans typically associate with the mind, like "learning" and "problem solving [40]. AI technology of agriculture is the application of information technology to solve problems in agricultural production [41]. Because of AI technology development , many new applications of AI technology have been introduced into agriculture, helping to improve productivity and production efficiency, while reducing risks and production costs [42]. The benefits of AI for agriculture are huge. So, this technology has been increasingly widely applied in agricultural production and cultivation [43]. Smart agriculture needs to apply a lot of AI devices for production. [44]. The using of AI is a trend of the future because this technology is creating a revolution in many fields. [45]. Smart agriculture requires the presence of AI to be able to operate in the general development direction of the world [46].

Weather forecast analysis equipment is one of the applications of AI in agriculture [47]. This device is used to collect and analyze weather data, thereby providing forecasts of future weather conditions, helping farmers choose the right time to plant and grow crops, plant care [48]. Current weather forecast analysis devices are often equipped with sensors and measurement technologies such as spectrometers, atmospheric spectrometers, air humidity and temperature meters, radars, and air temperature systems, satellite systems, and weather modeling technologies based on AI algorithms [49]. When an AI device detects that there will be heavy rain in the next few days, farmers can decide to postpone spraying pesticides or harvesting fruits to ensure crop safety and minimize the risk of crop losses [50]. In price forecasting, AI can help farmers better understand the prices of food and food products in the next few weeks, which can help them maximize their profits [51].
AI-based algorithms help to identify nutrient deficiencies in the soil so that farmers can replenish them in time and warn of pests that harm crops [52]. Designed to monitor and provide information, the plant health monitoring system provides information on soil moisture [53], nutrients [54], CO2 concentration [55], temperature [56], air humidity [57] and other indicators related to plant health [58]. The system works by using sensors to collect data, then using artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze this data [59]. The analysis results are provided to farmers or agricultural experts so that they can make smart decisions about how to grow and care for crops [60]. Soil and plant health monitoring systems can help farmers optimize production, increase productivity and reduce costs [61]. It also helps agricultural researchers better understand how plants and their living environments work, thereby providing solutions to improve productivity and quality of agricultural products [62].
Nowadays, AI companies are developing robots for use in the agricultural sector [63]. These AI robots are developed in such a way that they can perform many tasks in agriculture [64]. These robots can be used to monitor, manage, care for crops, harvest, and use fertilizers and pesticides more effectively [65]. In addition, they can also help improve productivity, reduce costs and reduce the impact of agricultural activities on the environment [66]. Agricultural robot features include sensors to monitor crop health, soil analysis and weather forecasting, control systems to control spraying and watering, and automation capabilities activities such as harvesting [67]. Agricultural robots are often remotely controlled or fully automated, depending on the user's needs [68]. AI robots are also trained to check crop quality, detect and control weeds, and harvest crops at a faster rate than humans [69]. Several robots responsible for automatically harvesting fruit trees have been produced by companies around the world, such as orange picking robots [70], strawberry picking robots [71], and tomato harvesting robots [72]. In addition, some types of robots that help control and eliminate weeds are also being researched and designed by companies [73]. AI sensors will help farmers detect weeds as well as areas affected by weeds easily [74]. When such areas are detected, herbicides can be sprayed precisely to reduce herbicide use and save time [75]. Many AI companies around the world are building robots that integrate AI and computer vision technology to accurately spray weed killers [76]. The use of AI-based smart spraying systems can significantly reduce the number of chemicals used in fields, thereby improving crop quality and helping to save on production costs [77].
AI-enabled systems for pest detection in agriculture are an important tool in protecting crops from harmful diseases and insects [78]. This system uses techniques and data models to analyze data from sensors. The system then analyzes the data to determine whether a pest is present, evaluates the severity of the pest, and provides remedial solutions [79]. The AI ​​system can also detect changes in crop development, such as how quickly or slowly the crop grows [80]. From there, health problems can be detected, and farmers can intervene early to solve the problem. Timely corrections help protect plant health and increase agricultural productivity [81]. Precision farming is an application of AI in agriculture [83]. It uses technologies such as machine learning, computer vision and sensor technology to help identify, collect and analyze data to make farming decisions [84]. Accurate operation and output prediction [85]. Additionally, precision farming systems use sensor technology to collect data about soil, crops, and the surrounding environment to make precise farming decisions such as watering, fertilizing, and pruning plants [86]. AI technology is involved in all categories and tasks in the agricultural production process[87]. It plays a central role in maintaining and operating everything stably and effectively[88].

3.2. Internet of Things (IoT) in Smart Agricultural

Internet of things (IoT) refers to the network of smart devices and technologies that facilitate communication between devices and the cloud, as well as between devices [89]. Because of the advent of cheap computer chips and high-bandwidth telecommunications technology, around billions of devices have been connected to the internet [90]. This means that devices can use sensors to collect data and respond intelligently to users [91]. IoT application is a set of services and software that integrates data received from various IoT devices [92]. This application uses machine learning or artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyze the data and make informed decisions [93]. These decisions are transmitted back to the IoT device, which then responds intelligently to the input data [94]. IoT has been playing a major role in the agriculture industry, bringing about major changes in the way farmers carry out their daily work [95]. The modern world is witnessing an unprecedented level of technology adoption in agriculture. There are many emerging technologies in this field that promise to bring significant changes in the future [96]. IoT was once an emerging technology in agriculture and now, it has taken a mainstream position due to its wider application. IoT in agriculture can be understood in the simplest way: Internet of Things [97]. IoT smart farming equipment is designed to automatically monitor crop fields using sensors and irrigation systems. Therefore, farmers can easily monitor field conditions from anywhere, anytime [98]. IoT in digital agriculture is smart devices and sensors that connect and automatically control throughout the production process [99] to help respond to climate change [100], improve quality [101], ensure food hygiene and safety [102], and increase product value [103].

7 Control Roboto [112]
8 Spray pesticides [113]
9 Optimizing valuable resources [123,124,125,126]
Applying IoT to agriculture is currently a common trend in the world [104]. IoT will transform agriculture from a qualitative production field into a precise production field based on collected, synthesized and statistically analyzed data [105]. Applying IoT to agriculture not only brings farmers high productivity and output [106]. IoT also helps farmers access the most advanced science and technology of humanity, along with bringing users countless unimaginable benefits [107]. IoT in agriculture plays an extremely important role, IoT will allow farmers to monitor their products and conditions in real time [108]. Farmer can receive detailed information faster, based on which they can predict problems before they occur so that they can come up with optimal solutions or prevent them [109]. In addition, IoT solutions in agriculture also allow farmers to carry out automated production processes, such as: Irrigation [110], fertilization [111], automatic harvesting robots [112], Spray pesticides promptly and effectively [113], limiting labor [114], saving time [115], increasing effective economy [116]. Using IoT-based greenhouses and hydroponics located within the city can be a suitable solution [117], in addition to providing short-term food sources such as fresh fruits and vegetables for people in the city, IoT also allows agricultural systems to become more intelligently closed [118]. Improving speed and adapting to complex weather conditions is one of the great benefits that IoT brings in using IoT for agricultural applications [119]. In today's erratic and harsh weather conditions, thanks to real-time monitoring and prediction systems, farmers can quickly respond to any changes in weather, humidity, air quality as well as the health of each different crop or soil in the field [120]. The application of IoT also improves the speed of processes in agricultural production, thereby bringing higher productivity and output [121]. By using IoT based on data collected from different sensors, farmers can accurately allocate and use just enough resources needed for the production process [122]. Thereby optimizing valuable resources such as: Water [123], energy [124], land [125]. Cleaner processes using IoT in the use of pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture is a very common thing [126]. For smart agriculture, digital agriculture based on IoT for precision farming helps farmers save energy and water, not only making agriculture greener, but it also significantly reduces the use of pesticides and fertilizers through the IoT system [127]. Smart systems with IoT applications help farmers recreate the best conditions and increase the nutritional value of their products [128].

3.3. Drone in Smart Agricultural

A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), controlled remotely or automatically using remote control technology and sensor systems [129]. Drones are often equipped with sensors, cameras or cameras to collect information and images from space [130]. Basically, drones are both UAVs, can refer to UAVs that have a variety of applications, including photography, video recording, transportation cargo, environmental monitoring, terrain surveying, and many other applications [131]. Drones typically have an external frame made of hard plastic or lightweight alloy, with some versions using materials such as carbon fiber to increase rigidity and reduce weight. The drone frame may have one or more propellers to create lift and movement [132]. Drones use electric motors or internal combustion engines to generate power, and this motor is connected to propellers to create lift. Most consumer drones use electric motors to achieve high performance and good control [133]. Drones often use lithium-ion batteries or other power sources such as lipo batteries to provide power to motors and other electronic control systems. The flight time of a drone depends on the capacity and performance of the battery [134]. Drones are controlled remotely through a remote controller or can be operated automatically through an automatic control system. The remote controller allows the operator to adjust parameters such as speed, direction, altitude and perform other functions of the drone [135]. Drones are often equipped with sensors such as acceleration sensors, pressure sensors, gyroscopes, and distance sensors to measure and maintain position and altitude in space. These sensors help the drone maintain stability, keep balance, and perform functions such as GPS positioning and obstacle avoidance [136]. Drones use a flight control system to adjust the drone's tilt and rotation through changing the rotation speed of the propellers. This system allows the drone to move in different directions and perform complex flight maneuvers [137]. Some drones are equipped with cameras or cameras to take photos and record videos from space. Industrial drones can be equipped with special sensors and technology such as infrared, lidar or GPS watches to perform tasks such as environmental monitoring, terrain surveys, or recording detailed data [138]. Modern agriculture is witnessing an explosion of drone technology, opening a new era for the farming industry [139].The use of drones in agriculture is increasingly popular and is an inevitable trend in the 4.0 technology era [140]. These drones provide innovative solutions, helping farmers optimize production efficiency, improve productivity and reduce costs [141]. Thus, the values ​​that drones is bring to the development of smart agriculture, actively contribute to the development of sustainable agriculture.
The using drones for spraying is the most common application [142]. In the field of modern agriculture, pesticide spraying with drones is becoming the most popular drone application in agriculture, bringing many superior benefits compared to traditional methods [143]. Drones can fly flexibly, reach all areas, and spray pesticides regularly and accurately, helping to save time, effort and costs for farmers [144]. With a modern mist spraying system, drones ensure that pesticides are distributed evenly, limiting waste and minimizing negative impacts on the environment [145]. Using drones also helps protect workers' health and avoid direct contact with toxic chemicals [146]. Overall, pesticide spraying with drones is an advanced solution, contributing to improving efficiency and productivity in agricultural production, towards a smart and sustainable agriculture [147]. Fertilizing with agricultural drones helps bring higher yields [148]. Fertilizing crops by using drones in agriculture is gradually becoming a new trend in modern agriculture [149]. With outstanding advantages compared to traditional fertilization methods, drones bring high efficiency and cost savings to farmers [150]. Drones can fly and spread fertilizer accurately and evenly over large areas, helping plants absorb nutrients better [151]. Using drones to fertilize also helps protect the environment by minimizing excess fertilizer and limiting water and soil pollution [152]. Fertilizing using drones also helps reduce health risks for workers compared to manual fertilizing methods [153].

Using drones in seed sowing agriculture is a modern farming method that brings many benefits to farmers [154]. Drones can fly according to pre-programmed plans, ensuring sowing seeds at the right density and location, helping crops grow evenly [155]. Artificial pollination plays an important role in improving crop productivity and quality. The application of drones in agriculture, pollination is done more effectively, saving time and costs for farmers [156]. Drones are equipped with an advanced pollen spray system that can hover precisely over each row of trees, ensuring that pollen is evenly distributed [157]. Using drones helps increase pollination rates up to 90% [158], improving productivity by 15-20% compared to manual pollination methods [159]. In addition, drones also help reduce the risk of disease spread by limiting direct contact between people and plants. The use of drones for artificial pollination is gradually becoming a new trend in smart agriculture, contributing to improving production efficiency and developing sustainable agriculture [160].
Drone technology is increasingly being widely applied in the agricultural sector, providing advanced solutions for tracking and monitoring crops, livestock [161]. Drones can fly over fields, collect image and video data from above, helping farmers grasp the growth status of crops, detect early signs of pests and weeds, as well as monitor Monitor the health and location of livestock [162]. Drones are multifunctional products that help farmers do many working [163]. This is a multifunctional technology that helps farmers limit costs and labor[164]. The ability to collect data accurately and quickly, drone applications in agriculture help farmers save time and effort compared to traditional inspection methods [165]. The data collected, farmers can make scientific decisions about irrigation, fertilization, pesticide spraying, and livestock management more effectively, contributing to improving productivity and quality, number of agricultural products [166].
Agricultural maps provide farmers with accurate information about crop status, helping them make more effective management decisions. For example, maps can help identify areas that need fertilization, pesticide spraying or watering, helping to save costs and minimize environmental impact [167]. Drone applications can also be used for 3D mapping, helping farmers simulate farming activities such as planting, harvesting and pest management in agriculture. 3D mapping also helps evaluate the effectiveness of farming practices and predict crop yields [168].

3.4. Irrigation Technology in Smart Agricultal

The agricultural sector is facing many challenges in irrigation such as scarce water resources, labor shortages, and low crop yields due to inefficient irrigation [169]. Smart irrigation systems are solutions that integrate modern electronic devices to optimize and simplify the irrigation process [170]. Instead of using traditional mechanical switches, we can now turn on and off by setting automatic timers or using smartphones to control [171]. Smart irrigation systems in agriculture have emerged as a potential solution to solve these problems [172]. Smart irrigation systems in agriculture provide smart irrigation solutions to provide water to plants automatically, effectively and save time [173]. Smart irrigation systems operate based on a pre-set schedule and water volume, ensuring that plants are always provided with the necessary amount of water for each stage of development [174]. By connecting the water pump system to the control center, we can operate the system using a smart phone thanks to a pre-linked App [175]. Smart irrigation systems provide the exact amount of water needed by each type of plant, ensuring healthy plant growth in all stages of growth. Water is distributed evenly to each plant, avoiding under- or over-watering, which affects crop yields [176]. Smart irrigation systems allow adjusting the time and amount of irrigation water to suit weather conditions, soil type and each stage of plant growth. Thus, users can easily monitor and effectively manage irrigation activities, optimize water resources and improve crop productivity [177], help limit over-watering, causing soil erosion [178].

In the world, nanotechnology has long been applied in many different fields, such as agriculture, medicine, industry [199]. Zinc, copper, and silver elements are elements with high antifungal and antibacterial properties [200]. When metal nanoparticles are a few nm in size, the antibacterial and antifungal effectiveness increases thousands of times compared to the element in ion form [201]. Low concentrations of nano silver showed effective resistance to brown spot disease, [202] passion fruit [203], yellow leaf disease [204,205,206], pepper [207]. When using nano silver in combination with nano copper, it will have a synergistic effect of inhibiting and effectively preventing many different species of pathogenic fungi [208]. Some preparations for controlling sucking insects (pheromone, methyl eugenol) produced in nano gel form have shown to be effective, have great potential and are highly biosafe for crops [209]. In diagnosing viral diseases in crops, nanotechnology has been applied to accurately determine the stage of DNA recombination and protein synthesis of viruses as a foundation for building solutions to prevent and control diseases caused by [210]. Applying nanotechnology in seed treatment helps animals germinate and grow faster [211]. Using nanotechnology in diagnosing and detecting diseases that cause [212]. Applying nanotechnology to make micronutrient fertilizers suitable for each stage of plant growth [213].

Increase desired yield per crop [238], improve food quality by enhancing nutritional [239], quality of taste [240], improve color and texture [241]. The DNA of most plant species has been mapped, allowing farmers to develop better disease resistance in their plants [242], By mapping more and more genomes, it will be possible to create custom populations of individual animals and plants that are suited to specific applications [243], cows that produce milk that is high in unsaturated fatty acids [244], potatoes that contain a specific type of potato starch or have a resistance to a particular disease. Genetic technology has completely changed the productivity and quality of livestock and crops according to the desired purposes of producers [245].

3.8. Sensor Technology in Smart Agriculture

A sensor is a device that can sense measured information and convert it into electrical signals or other necessary forms of output information according to a certain rule to meet the requirements of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording and control [246]. Sensors are gradually being applied in more and more industries such as agriculture and industry with the development of internet of things technology [247]. In modern agriculture, sensors such as air temperature and humidity [248], soil temperature and humidity sensors [249], soil pH sensors [250], light intensity sensors [251] and carbon dioxide CO2 sensors [252] are often used to collect data on all aspects of crop development such as nursery, growth and harvest [253]. Sensors measuring electrical conductivity EC and pH of agricultural soil are used to monitor water and fertilizer [254]. Integrate and monitor into the monitoring system [255]. Temperature and humidity sensor Can monitor the changes in temperature and humidity in agricultural cultivation environment [256]. The default temperature and humidity monitoring range are (-40 ℃) to (+ 80 ℃) and (0%) RH to (100%) RH respectively [257]. Soil parameter monitoring sensor Soil moisture determines the water supply status of crops [258]. Soil moisture is too high or too low will affect the normal growth of crops on the ground. Only with appropriate soil moisture can the water absorption of roots and the transpiration of leaves reach a state of equilibrium, thus promoting the growth of plant roots [259]. The soil moisture temperature sensor measures the volume percentage of soil moisture by measuring the dielectric constant of the soil. The soil moisture meter method meets the current international standards, which can directly and stably reflect the actual moisture content of different soils [260].

8 Soil EC sensor [254]
9 Monitoring system [255]
Soil EC conductivity sensor Agricultural conductivity and PH sensors are mainly used in agricultural monitoring with water and fertilizer integration systems [261]. They are mainly used to monitor the EC conductivity values ​​of soil, pH and temperature of fertilizer liquid after mixing, and display and upload to the water and fertilizer control system through the LCD screen [262]. The built-in memory chips of the agricultural EC conductivity sensor and the agricultural PH sensor have a storage function, which can store historical data of 2 days and 3 days respectively[263]. Soil pH sensor maintaining the appropriate pH of the soil is a basic requirement for normal plant growth[264]. When the soil pH sensor detects that the electrode (sensor) is in direct contact with the soil, the current generated by the oxidation-reduction reaction in the chemical reaction will be used, and the current value will drive the data of different pH value units corresponding to the ammeter, which is converted by the host computer. The result is displayed as a digital value; the steel needle is a special anti-corrosion electrode made of a special alloy material, which is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion. The shell is completely sealed with black flame-retardant epoxy resin, and the protection level is IP68 [265]. Light sensor the light sensor consists of three parts: transmitter, receiver and detection circuit. All of them are composed of electronic components [266]. The application of light sensors in greenhouse agricultural cultivation can help growers accurately grasp the rules of sunshine time, light saturation point, light compensation points of plant growth, thereby adjusting the light preferences of plants through manual control technology to control and improve the scientific growth of crops to achieve high yields [267]. Carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor plants continuously absorb CO2 in the atmosphere for photosynthesis and use photosynthesis to produce nutrients to maintain the growth and development of crops [268]. Studies have found that as the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the photosynthesis of plants will be significantly enhanced [269]. The CO2 carbon dioxide sensor uses new infrared verification technology to measure the CO2 concentration in the environment. The response is fast and sensitive, avoiding the long life and drift of traditional electrochemical sensors; The default measurement range is 0 ~ 5000ppm, with temperature compensation, affected by the external temperature has a small impact [270]. Modern agriculture uses sensor technology to provide accurate and timely crop growth data to build scientific planting programs, save labor, optimize crop varieties, improve crop quality and yield [271].

3.9. Greenhouse’s Technology in Smart Agricultural

Smart greenhouses are gradually becoming popular are gradually becoming popular. This type is especially common in places where people mainly live on farming [272]. Climate change and erratic weather changes are always happening. Applying modern science and technology, modern greenhouses are not only places to help plants grow well. But also, greatly support human efforts in various tasks. Smart greenhouses bring many benefits to farmers. It is a new technical application [273].

4. Discussion

Smart agriculture is an agricultural production activity that applies high technology including mechanization and automation [280,281]. Smart agriculture is also technology for producing and preserving safe products [282], technology for managing and identifying products according to the value chain [283], artificial intelligence systems [284], and combination with information technology to optimize the production process [285]. Developing smart agriculture based on technology systems will help reduce overall costs, improve product quality and yield, increase agricultural sustainability and improve consumer experience [286]. This makes production management more efficient and reduces waste. Monitoring abnormalities in crop growth or livestock health helps minimize the risk of yield loss [287]. With smart devices, multiple processes can be activated simultaneously, and automated services will improve product quality and volume by better controlling production processes [288]. Smart farming systems also help manage demand forecasting accurately and bring products to market at the right time, reducing waste [289]. Precision agriculture focuses on managing land supply and adjusting growing parameters based on soil conditions [290]. For example, moisture [291], fertilizer [292] or nutrients to meet the needs of each crop [293]. Agricultural production needs to increase by 60% by 2030 to feed the global population [294]. Therefore, farmers and food producers are required to apply digital technology to improve efficiency and protect the environment, thereby developing sustainable agriculture [295].
IOT application is one of the main contents in the application of science and technology in agricultural production [296]. These sensors are linked to smart machines and operate automatically in the agricultural production process, helping to cope with the challenges of climate change and improve environmental conditions in greenhouses [297]. Integrating dual barcode technology to track the entire production process when raw materials are imported, through the stages of plant and animal growth, until the final product is created [298]. IoT solutions mainly aim to help farmers connect more quickly and easily with the supply chain, thereby increasing productivity, profits and protecting the environment [299]. According to business reports, the number of IoT devices used in the agricultural sector globally has reached 70 million devices by 2020, with an annual growth rate of 20% [300]. Figure 1 show that IOT system will cover the entire farm and is a tool to connect and manage all farm activities through computer devices and smartphones (. This showed that IOT is really an extremely effective and urgent tool in agricultural production. It brings many benefits quickly and effectively.
The use of robots in many stages of production, harvesting and processing is becoming popular in places where there is a shortage of human resources or where labor costs are too high [301]. Robots are gradually replacing humans in caring for crops and livestock, helping to reduce the burden of work [302]. Robots in the agricultural sector are increasing labor productivity for farmers in many ways [303]. Although Robots only take on a part of the farming process, there are many jobs that require standards or in toxic or complex working environments that humans cannot perform. Robots are an effective solution to bring high efficiency [304]. The use of robots in agricultural production is considered an important breakthrough to liberate human labor.
Drones and satellites are used to collect data from farms and gardens [305]. The agricultural industry is currently applying drones to sow seeds [306], spray pesticides [307], fertilize [308], map fields [309]. The application of drones in agriculture is a great innovation that solves many problems in production, especially the application of these devices in large-scale production. Automated irrigation equipment is also used to spray mist when the temperature in the garden is too high and the humidity is low, helping to maintain an optimal environment for crops [310]. Water irrigation is an indispensable factor in agricultural production. The development of irrigation systems is considered a big challenge for farmers and farmers. The construction and development of many smart irrigation systems based on the development of science and technology is a great thing to help bring high efficiency in production and no longer depend on nature. Besides, the support of other fields has helped the calculation and installation of irrigation systems become much simpler and more convenient. Therefore, the problem of irrigation for agricultural production is now simpler.
The application of new plant and animal varieties developed through biotechnology such as tissue culture and gene editing are becoming more popular [311]. These varieties help overcome genetic defects and improve productivity and product quality by using growth regulators of natural origin and from microbial technology or bio-fermentation [312] such as GA3, NAA, amino acids, vitamins B1, B6, B12 [313]. Organic fertilizers and biological pesticides such as abamectin, BT and antagonistic fungi Beauveria, biofilms are being used for air purification and disinfection [314,315]. Diagnostic kits for plants, livestock, poultry, and aquatic diseases help detect and treat diseases early [316]. Biological products are also used to clean the environment of barns, ponds, fish tanks, and to preserve fresh fruits and vegetables for longer, ensuring quality during preliminary processing and processing [317]. Biological products combined with nanotechnology have increased efficiency [318]. New nano fertilizers can replace lighting for dragon fruit and chrysanthemum plants when they bloom, reducing production costs and significantly improving economic efficiency [319].
Using artificial intelligence (AI) technology is creating many software and machines to collect information as well as connect devices, processing big data [320]. This helps to provide production management solutions towards safe organic agriculture, from the production garden [321]. Advanced countries are thoroughly applying AI technology in managing crop and livestock production, harvesting, preservation and processing in smart agriculture that not only brings economic efficiency but also ensures the environment is in harmony with nature [322]. Artificial intelligence integrated into unmanned aerial vehicles has been tested and applied for a long time but has only recently been widely used in agriculture [323]. This has helped increase the speed of pesticide spraying by 5 times compared to other types of machinery and aerial planting also significantly reduces labor costs compared to traditional methods [324]. Smart farming technology provides businesses with new ways to boost agricultural efficiency, while reducing costs and increasing revenue [325]. In other words, smart farming technology is of utmost importance to the development of modern agriculture and will help the agricultural industry survive in the future [326]. Figure 1 showed that all technologies and devices will be implanted with AI as a central command to operate and manage activities in the smart agriculture system.
Sensor technology is one of the effective tools that helps agricultural production become more efficient and faster [327]. It allows farmers to quickly respond to changes in the production process, such as changes in weather, climate, and environment[328]. In addition, this technology contributes significantly to regulating nutrition, protecting or developing, and analyzing data, enabling farmers to make accurate and timely decisions[329].The sensitivity and convenience of this technology have helped the production process follow a consistent and stable system, saving a lot of costs and labor in the production process[330]. Sensor technology is seen as a connection to many modern technologies today, such as AI and IoT[331].
Greenhouse technology is seen as a breakthrough in the field of agriculture. It helps farmers avoid many risks related to weather and climate change [332]. This technology is increasingly being improved and plays an extremely important role in the development trend of the agricultural sector. Greenhouse models will make production management easier, and input and output factors will be managed effectively, avoiding waste and loss. [333]. It can be applied to households if the cultivation area is small, only serving the needs of the whole family or the entire large greenhouse area [334]. The use of smart greenhouse systems that are easy to apply automatic watering, ventilation, and fertilization technology [335]. Instead of having to do it manually and adjust inaccurately as before. Farmers can use automation for all certain tasks, pre-installed. Solar panel system, rainwater collection, temperature and humidity adjustment sensor. This method is both economical but important for plants to grow well and produce high yields [336].
This study shows that smart agricultural models need to be designed with greenhouse models suitable for such purposes, which will be easy to manage and apply technology. Taking AI technology as the center to operate such activities will bring high efficiency, accuracy and cost savings. IoT is the accompanying luggage covering the entire model to facilitate management, monitoring and operation. Sensor technology needs to be fully utilized based on AI and IoT platforms, thus promoting the full value of technology. Drones are another modern technological device that needs to be fully utilized for the purposes of spraying pesticides, pest control, management and monitoring. Robots are tools that help reduce labor, increase accuracy and create rhythmic consistency in production stages. Nanotechnology is a highlight that needs to be developed to create sophistication, compactness, efficiency and improve product quality, create depth and breakthrough in production. Genetic technology is something that needs to be promoted and researched vigorously because plant and animal varieties with good characteristics in terms of productivity, quality, and resistance to difficult environmental conditions are particularly important. Biotechnology is always an indispensable part of smart agricultural models because it always provides values ​​that directly impact production including nutrition, development, disease treatment, helping to increase crop and animal productivity effectively, safely and sustainably.
In the topic of smart agricultural development, the synthesis of all factors is very important. They combine as a system that connects to create common results (Figure 1). Modern technologies are increasingly developing strongly, so the comprehensive combination and integration of new technological factors in production are extremely important in the chain of building and developing smart agriculture. Modern science and technology will bring many benefits and great values, but it requires investment and research to be effective. Identifying the key factors in the smart agricultural system to apply modern technology is vital. Based on applying modern science and technology, paying attention to core values ​​for sustainable development will be efective. The human factor and the transfer of knowledge between researchers, farmers, businesses and the state also need special attention in the process of building and developing smart agricultural models.
