Abstract

The concept of good agricultural practice has developed due to rapid changes and globalization in agriculture and the food industry. These changes occur as a result of the responsibility and work for the production of healthy and safe food, as well as the implementation of stable and safe sustainable agriculture, taking care to preserve the environment. The practices that are related to the quality of the soil include the maintenance and improvement of its organic ingredients, with the application of appropriate crop rotation and the application of the digital revolution. The digital revolution in agriculture represents the transformation of standard agriculture into digital agriculture through the installation and implementation of digital machines, sensors, systems, application of information and communication technologies. One of the most used technologies in the agricultural industry is the use of the Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things (IoT) enables the automatic monitoring, control and management of devices that contain hardware, software and sensors, which can be controlled remotely using a smart device, and the data obtained from input devices such as sensors can be are recorded in a database for further processing, selection and generation of reports. By applying IoT, a sufficient level of protection of natural resources from pollution and damage is enabled, which, in addition to soil, includes water and air as resources, which will contribute to the reduction of global warming.Keywords –IoT, Digital tools, Sustainable Agriculture, SoilI.INTRODUCTIONThe concept of sustainable agricultural production has developed due to rapid changes and globalization in agriculture and the food industry. These changes occur as a result of the responsibility and work of a number of entities for the production of healthy and safe food, as well as the implementation of stable and safe agriculture, taking care to preserve the environment. More broadly, sustainable agriculture applies available knowledge to solve problems related to the environmental, economic and social sustainability of agriculture and production processes to ensure safe and quality food and agricultural raw materials. By applying the measures listed below, farmers will guarantee a sufficient level of protection of natural resources from pollution and damage, including water, air and soil, and they will contribute to the reduction of global warming. Good practices related to soil quality include maintaining and improving soil organic matter through the use of "reserves" that refer to the use of appropriatecrop rotation. On the other hand, the role of digital practices in agriculture is to use the power of digital technologies to accelerate and increase the volume of innovative ideas that will positively affect agriculture and food production. One of the innovative
