Abstract
The future development of advanced sensor and microsystems technologies for use in agriculture is briefly discussed, within a general appraisal of the industrial requirements and the potential economic and ecological benefits to be derived from the employment of novel sensing systems in sustainable agricultural practices, such as precision farming. It is proposed that these technologies are potentially important monitoring tools for farmers and growers, and that a concerted programme of research and development is required to satisfy the future requirements of the agricultural industry.Keywords
