Climate-smart urban agriculture has emerged as a strategic response to increasing environmental uncertainties, rapid urbanization, and growing demands for sustainable food production systems. Smart sensors and Internet of Things (IoT)-based technologies hold significant potential to improve the resilience, productivity, and resource efficiency of urban farming systems by enabling real-time monitoring, predictive control, and automated decision-making. This article explores the role of smart sensor networks, wireless communication systems, and data-driven IoT platforms in optimizing climate-smart agricultural practices in densely populated urban environments. The research highlights how multispectral sensors, soil nutrient probes, microclimate nodes, and water-use monitoring devices provide high-resolution datasets that support precision interventions such as adaptive irrigation, controlled fertigation, and early stress detection. Furthermore, IoT-enabled systems integrated with cloud computing and edge-based analytics enhance farmers’ ability to mitigate climate risks, reduce input wastage, and sustain year-round production in constrained urban spaces.
