5th IEEE International Workshop on
Smart Agriculture (SmartAgr 2026)

The 5th International Workshop on Smart Agriculture (SmartAgr) is dedicated to investigating the design, implementation, and assessment of innovative technological solutions, including new paradigms, methods, systems, and tools necessary to ensure the effective implementation of Smart Agriculture creating a more connected and efficient agricultural ecosystem.

The workshop invites participation from both academia and industry across the world providing a platform to exchange ideas discussing cutting-edge research to actively encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas and competencies, leading to more robust and innovative solutions for sustainable and efficient agriculture.

The papers should address forefront research and development in Smart Agriculture with a particular focus on, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Advanced ICT Technologies for Monitoring and Data
• IoT (Internet of Things) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), and UAV‑based sensing platforms for monitoring crops, soil, water, livestock, and machinery.
• New paradigms in communications technologies (e.g., 5G, LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi) and embedded systems for seamless data transmission in rural and remote environments.
• Cloud/Fog/Edge Computing architectures for local and real-time processing of agricultural data.
• Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning models for predictive analytics (e.g., yield forecasting, pest/disease outbreak prediction), using local, proximal or remote sensing data (e.g. weather data, soil sensors, satellite and UAV imagery).
• Computer Vision and image processing techniques for automated monitoring (e.g., crop health, weeding, stress detection).
• Development of intelligent Decision Support Systems (DSS) for optimizing resource usage (e.g., fertilizer, water, pesticides) and decision-making.
• Use of Big Data Analytics to manage and synthesize heterogeneous agricultural datasets.
• Resource Management and Environmental Sustainability
• Smart Water Management and irrigation systems to improve water use efficiency and combat droughts.
• Precision Agriculture techniques for optimized agrochemical applications, aiming to reduce pollution of natural resources (water and soil).
• Methods for soil health monitoring and preservation, including biodiversity tracking and reduced tillage strategies.
• Solutions for sustainable energy integration in farm operations (e.g., solar, wind, biomass). Pervasive computing and embedded systems solutions enabling Smart Agriculture.
• Smart and Sustainable Agri-food Chain and Logistics: Technologies for traceability, smart logistics, and resource optimization in the post-harvest phase.

Authors are encouraged to submit papers to the SmartAgr workshop, describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in the area of Smart Agriculture.
