Strengthening Smart Agriculture in Malaysia through Pervasive Computing

Global economies have been significantly impacted by the introduction of digitalisation, especially through the usage of ubiquitous computing technologies. This digital transformation has far-reaching implications for income inequality, employment, and economic development. Malaysia, actively participating in the digital economy, has employed internet-based technologies like cloud computing, big data analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance its GDP and living standards. Smart Agriculture initiatives undertaken by the nation serve as a prime example of this paradigm shift, as they prioritise sustainable practices and urban agricultural solutions. While ubiquitous computing holds great promise for the agricultural industry in Malaysia, the country faces certain obstacles that must be overcome before its full potential can be achieved.
