  Despite the fact, a handful of scholars have endorsed the Internet of Things
(IoT) as an effective transformative tool for shifting traditional farming to
smart farming, relatively little study has addressed the enabling role of smart
agriculture in achieving sustainable agriculture and green climate. Researchers
are more focused on technological invention and model introduction rather than
discussing societal or global development goals. Sustainable development goals
(SDGs) designed by United Nations (UN), therefore demand discussions as SDGs
targets have a closer implication of technology. To fill this gap, in this
study a model of smart agriculture is developed and centring the model we
investigated how the model addresses SDGs targets. The investigation suggests
that smart agriculture supports targets mentioned in Goal 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12
of SDG. This research is very important, both for developing and developed
nations since most of the nations are moving more towards industrialization and
aiming to achieve the SDG goals This research is expected to provide a path to
the IT practitioners, governments and developing agencies on how technological
intervention can provide a more sustainable agricultural world.
