Summary

This chapter explores the potential role of Industry 4.0 technologies—including sensors, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and automation—in supporting sustainable land management and biodiversity conservation aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goal 15. The work appears to synthesise how digital and precision agriculture tools can improve monitoring, decision-making, and environmental outcomes across farming systems, though the specific empirical evidence base and geographic scope remain to be confirmed from the full text.

UK applicability

UK agriculture is increasingly adopting precision farming and digital tools; this synthesis may inform policy and practice guidance on integrating Industry 4.0 technologies with UK soil health and environmental stewardship schemes, though applicability will depend on the technologies and systems reviewed.

Key measures

Application of emerging digital technologies to land use, soil health, biodiversity monitoring, and sustainable agricultural practice outcomes

Outcomes reported

The paper examines how Industry 4.0 technologies (such as precision agriculture, IoT, AI, and data analytics) can be applied to support sustainable land management and biodiversity conservation. As suggested by the title, it likely reviews technological interventions across farming systems to advance SDG 15 (Life on Land).
