Agriculture could undergo a revolution because to digital technologies, which can boost yield, improve sustainability and improve farmers' capacity to make decisions. Such as mobile applications, automation, drones and aerial photography, precision agriculture, the Internet of Things (IoT), genomics and biotechnology tools, etc.
Mr. Mouhamad has already provided you with quite a good list of potential technological and digital improvement in agriculture.
There is one that I am missing that I recently hear more and more about and that is the 'Digital Twin'-concept. Think of it as a computerized copy of a farming system, build from different models and fed with several years worth of 'real-life' data.
This 'Twin' can then be used to model potential outcomes of new measurements against for example flooding or drought, without immediately having to change a whole farm management system in the real world.
When coupled with actual field experiments it is a powerful technique that can help demonstrate and calculate the influence of a certain measure, as well as calculate the size of said influence.
