Levantamento das principais atividades agropecuárias do Vale do Jaguaribe e possível implantação de tecnologias da agricultura inteligente

Abstract

Agricultural and agricultural activities are extremely important for the Jaguaribe valley region, as there is a wide variety of products ranging from fruits and vegetables to livestock. In this sense, challenges arise to be overcome by the entire production chain. As a result, the agricultural sector has increasingly sought technological solutions to overcome these barriers, such as the Internet of Things (IoT). The search for new technological solutions has boosted the area of smart agriculture, aiming at the acquisition and management of data in the agricultural sector. In smart agriculture there are several technologies applied, such as smart sensors, autonomous tractors, the use of robots in harvesting, communication systems, among others. Therefore, this work used official data on the main agricultural activities in the cities of Vale do Jaguaribe. This data was obtained from government sources, agricultural institutions and municipal departments. Based on the initial survey, the main agricultural activities that are significant for the region were selected. In addition to official data, research was carried out in university scientific databases to obtain more detailed information on specific agricultural practices, technological trends and relevant studies in the area of smart agriculture. Finally, a structured questionnaire was prepared and sent to the departments involved in the agricultural sector in the region. This questionnaire aimed to collect more specific information about the adoption of smart agriculture technologies in the identified agricultural activities. Finally, the results of this survey not only highlight the challenges faced, but also offer a starting point for implementing solutions. By recognizing obstacles and identifying opportunities, this study contributes significantly to understanding the current situation and to outlining future actions aimed at strengthening and modernizing agriculture in the region.
