Abstract:
Digital technologies, including the Internet, mobile technologies and devices, data analytics, artificial intelligence, services, and applications provided in digital form, are changing agriculture and the food system. Examples abound at different stages of the agri-food value chain: automation of agricultural machinery allows you to precisely regulate costs and reduces the demand for manual labour; remote satellite data and onsite sensors increase the accuracy and reduce the cost of monitoring crop growth and land or water quality; and tracking technologies and digital logistics services make it possible to optimize agri-food supply chains as well as provide consumers with reliable information.
