Humanity's ability to produce enough food is mostly due to adoption of new methods and
technologies by the agricultural industries as they became available. New information
communication and high speed processing and precision agriculture technologies have the
potential to transform the agricultural industry. These technologies incorporate
radio-frequency and microwave radiation into their systems. This book presents an overview of
how these technologies are being used in agricultural systems. The main purpose of the book is
to provide a glimpse of what is possible and encourage practitioners in the engineering and
agricultural industries to explore how radio-frequency and microwave systems might further
enhance the agricultural industry. The authors have extensive experience in agricultural and
microwave engineering instrumentation and communication systems.
