Uma análise sobre os processos de adoção, desafios e oportunidades do Agro 4.0 pelos produtores brasileiros: cenário atual e perspectivas

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impacts of technological innovations, particularly digital agriculture, on the Brazilian agricultural sector, with a focus on improving productivity and sustainability. The research adopts a qualitative approach, with a bibliographic analysis of the main technological advances in the field, such as the use of drones, sensors and digital management systems. Through a review of recent studies, it seeks to identify the benefits and challenges related to the implementation of these technologies, especially for small and medium-sized producers. The results indicate that, although digital innovations offer great potential to optimize agricultural processes, the lack of infrastructure, a shortage of skilled labor, high capital requirements and the resistance of some producers hinder their large-scale adoption. The research concludes that digital agriculture can be a decisive factor for the transformation of agribusiness, but requires public policies aimed at supporting the training of farmers and access to technologies, to ensure an efficient and inclusive transition.
