Last decade has seen the emerging concept of Smart and Sustainable Agriculture that makes farming more efficient by minimizing environmental impacts. Behind this evolution, we find the scientific concept of Machine Learning. Nowadays, machine learning is everywhere throughout the whole growing and harvesting cycle. Many algorithms are used for predicting when seeds must be planted. Then, data analyses are conducted to prepare soils and determine seeds breeding and how much water is required. Finally, fully automated harvest is planned and performed by robots or unmanned vehicles with the help of computer vision. To reach these amazing results, many algorithms have been developed and implemented. This paper presents how machine learning helps farmers to increase performances, reduce costs and limit environmental impacts of human activities. Then, we describe basic concepts and the algorithms that compose the underlying engine of machine learning techniques. In the last parts we explore datasets and tools used in researches to provide cutting-edge solutions. By leveraging data-driven insights, this project seeks to optimize various aspects of farming, including crop management, irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. The project utilizes Python programming language to develop predictive models that analyze historical agricultural data, environmental factors, and real-time inputs to provide actionable recommendations for farmers. The ultimate goal is to improve crop yields, reduce resource waste, and promote environmentally friendly farming practices. This approach not only supports the economic viability of farms but also contributes to the broader objective of sustainable agriculture, ensuring food security and environmental conservation for future generations.
