Abstract

The agricultural segment has gradually adopted new processes of pre-production, production and post-production of food that enable it to develop and simulate models of complex phenomena in both plant and animal production, and especially in what concerns climatic, sanitary, organoleptic and market variability, and even in those situations related to labor management. Part of this paradigm shift are the technologies related to Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing platforms or Bioinformatics. What we observe in the field is a new scenario that combines data analysis, hardware, software, and digital production tools that perform the collection, storage, exchange, processing, and management of all kinds of rural information and knowledge.
