Introduction
The fourth industrial revolution: Industry 4.0, or IR 4.0 is defined as the crosscutting impact of information and communication technologies, especially the Internet of Things (IoT) in various industrial sectors translates itself into a phenomenon. Agriculture 4.0, in analogy to industry 4.0, stands for the integrated internal and external networking of farming operations. This indicates that digital form data is present in agriculture processes like suppliersโ communications with end customer performed electronically. Agriculture 4.0 revolution the processes like data transmission, processing and analysis are automated. Farmer fields utilized with technology and innovation results in sustainable agricultural production and productivity growth. The study presents that agriculture growth, quality of the environment and other sustainable aspects results by agriculture 4.0 and hi-tech agriculture implementation (Slobodan Antiฤ, โDigitalization in Agriculture, 2018). This study focusses on agriculture 4.0 current applications and hi-tech for sustainable farming development with factor influencing the adoption of agriculture revolutions of the farm operation in Malaysia.
