This thesis focuses on the analysis and application of Smart Agriculture, a technologically advanced approach that utilizes Agriculture 4.0 to increase productivity and sustainability in farming activities. The research examines the main technologies integrated into Smart Agriculture, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), sensors, drones, and robotics, which contribute to improving farming practices, data analysis, and production forecasting. The study also explores the value chain and product management through the use of blockchain and other innovations that enhance transparency and traceability. It provides an in-depth presentation of the economic and environmental benefits of Smart Agriculture, both globally and within the Greek context, identifying the regions where it has been applied and the challenges that remain for its full integration. Additionally, the importance of Smart Agriculture in critical situations, such as war conflicts, is discussed, along with how it can contribute to self-sufficiency and the sustainability of agricultural products. Finally, the thesis presents the architecture of a mobile application that supports Smart Agriculture processes, offering tools for automating harvesting and spraying, monitoring data, and managing IoT devices.
