Typical topics introduced here were: four phases of decision in precision agriculture, community-based approaches, digital farming scheme and target, cyber-physical farming model, and policy linkage, which are usually involved in the movement of agricultural transformation. These topics will help readers to explore the future farming schemes in countries.
