Digital agribusiness is revolutionizing the job market and opening new doors for city dwellers. Robots, drones and software are being used to optimize production and accurately predict the use of each crop.

The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) predicts that, in 2050, it will be necessary to produce up to 70% more food to nourish all countries. Being one of the biggest world grain and meat producers, Brazil has become a great bet in the field of digital agribusiness.

For this, the agricultural sector has sought in cities the technological tools necessary to take the field to the next level. Drones are being used to count oranges, robots irrigate the crops automatically and software analyzes the data to accurately predict how much each crop can yield.

However, it is possible to remotely control soil temperature, monitor pests and diseases that affect crops and even receive alerts about adverse weather conditions. All of this allows farmers to make better use of available resources and obtain greater results of your crops.

Technological advances have also brought other benefits to professionals in the rural area: remote monitoring of equipment, management of agronomic data and even financial services to improve the finances of farmers. farmers.
