Automation is one of the key systems in modern agriculture, providing potential solutions to the challenges related to the growing world population, demographic shifts, and economic situation. The present article aims to highlight the importance of precision agriculture (PA) and smart agriculture (SA) in increasing agricultural production and the importance of environmental protection in increasing production and reducing traditional production. For this purpose, different types of automation systems in the field of agricultural operations are discussed, as well as smart agriculture technologies including the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), big data analysis, in addition to agricultural robots, and finally, the economic transformations resulting from automation. SA uses technology and data-driven agriculture to increase resource utilization, reduce waste, and minimize environmental impact. Automation in tractors, harvesters, and various agricultural equipment is revolutionizing traditional agriculture, increasing productivity and efficiency, and reducing reliance on human labor. PA and SA emphasize environmentally friendly practices and reduce the inputs required to create ecosystems to protect the environment and mitigate the effects of climate change. This shows how PA and SA can help in the future of the agricultural sector.
