Abstract:
This essay investigates the link between smart agriculture and sustainability in the context of intensive greenhouse farming in Bangladesh. This qualitative data analysis combines a literature review with expert interviews to acquire a full picture of the topic under inquiry. The findings highlight three key areas of technology that have a big impact on this type of agriculture. The first category concentrates on soil and water conservation, sensor utilization, and environmental enhancement. The second group focuses on robot utilization, labor reduction, cost reductions, and economic sustainability. Finally, the third group considers economic sustainability. In summary, smart agriculture is expected to improve economic and environmental sustainability while reducing the social dimension to a remote level. The imbalance suggests that immediate benefits may take precedence over social and ethical considerations. Future investments may lead to polarization.
