Agricultural production efficiency can be improved, the environment can be improved, and sustainable agricultural development can be achieved with smart agriculture. Several nations and businesses are devoted to developing or introducing innovative agricultural practices and technologies. As long as conventional agricultural management systems are in place, it's going to be tough for businesses to choose and apply smart agriculture solutions without running into stiff competition. As a result, businesses must weigh their options and choose a workable solution ahead of time. There is a novel fuzzy multi-criteria decision model presented in this research that may be used to evaluate the agriculture solution. We created fuzzy MARCOS, which uses the COmpromise Solution's Measurement Alternatives and Ranking Method (fuzzy MARCOS). Triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) linguistic dimension was also developed. According to this technique, the criteria weights used to evaluate the road network parts were calculated. Consequently, it is clear that a certain part of agriculture is affected by the study results.
