Abstract
Software ecosystems play a critical role in enabling the development and deployment of precision agriculture solutions. In this entry, we define software ecosystems as complex systems of interdependent actors, including software developers, hardware manufacturers, service providers, and end users, who collaborate and compete to create, distribute, and use software and data in precision agriculture. Key features of software ecosystems in precision agriculture, including the types of actors, the types of software and data involved, the governance mechanisms, and the challenges and opportunities are discussed in the present entry. Implications of software ecosystems for the adoption and diffusion of precision agriculture solutions, and the role of policy and regulation in sha** the evolution and sustainability of these ecosystems are discussed.
