Abstract: A revolutionary paradigm change in agriculture is being referred to as "digital" or "precision" farming, which aims to address issues with global food security while advancing environmental sustainability and economic success. Through the amalgamation of technologies resemble Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, drones, artificial intelligence, plus big data, this maximizes the sustainability, efficiency, and productivity of the farming sector by optimizing different aspects of farming operations with traditional agricultural practices. In addition, it uses sensors for remote sensing and data analytics to track crop health, moisture content, and soil conditions in real time. This allows farmers to decide cognizant decisions about pest control, fertilization, and irrigation. Drones with multispectral cameras and remote sensing data analytics sensors may accurately and efficiently provide airborne footage for crop monitoring, disease diagnosis, and yield estimation. This allows for insights into agricultural performance, weather patterns, and other related topics. Furthermore, it makes it easier for sustainable practices to be adopted by lowering input consumption, lessening environmental effect, and improving resource efficiency. Digital farming systems are networked, allowing for easy integration with supply chains and quality assurance, traceability, and transparency from farm to fork. Additionally, farmers can boost their competitiveness in the market by utilizing blockchain technology to guarantee the authenticity and integrity of their produce, earning the trust of customers. The present review critically scrutinizes the sways of big data systems and emerging technologies on agriculture (the "digital revolution"). Additionally, it highlights the contributions of big data sways, the Internet of Things (IoT), besides cloud computing focusing on a number of important issues and challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
