Abstract

The study aimed to identify the most important economic and environmental indicators for sustainable production in smart farms in Jordan. A comprehensive survey was conducted of all 22 smart farms in Jordan, of which 16 farms responded. The results of the study showed that the studied characteristics of farmers, in addition to the knowledge, importance, and opinions of farmers, all have an impact on the adoption of the application of smart agriculture. Natural resources, reduce costs in the long run, as well as increase the amount of production per unit area. In light of the results, the study recommended a set of recommendations, the most important of which is the dissemination of knowledge among farmers about smart agriculture, and support for the gradual transformation of the use of its systems.
