Opis

Information technologies have had a decisive impact on practically all areas of society; however, agriculture, which can undoubtedly be considered the most important activity developed by mankind, since it is the source of most of the food that sustains a growing population, has not benefited from these technologies to the same extent as many other activities, and one of the possible causes of this situation is the absence of a sufficiently robust conceptual framework to focus the efforts of society in general on achieving this objective. Faced with the need to make all agricultural processes more efficient, from a technical, financial and environmental point of view, the digital transformation in agriculture is making its way into primary production, but perhaps in a poorly organized manner. In view of this situation, this book aims to contribute to the construction of the conceptual framework that is so necessary to facilitate the digital transformation in agriculture.
