DIGITALIZATION OF AGRICULTURE

The article discusses the benefits of digitalization and directions for the implementation of digital solutions in agriculture. It is noted that the digitalization of agriculture is a key tool for optimizing the use of resources, increasing productivity and reducing costs. The integration of technologies such as the Internet of things, big data and analytics, systems integration, cloud computing, autonomous robotic systems, artificial intelligence, wireless sensor networks is giving rise to the next generation of industrial agriculture, called agriculture 4.0 and known as smart agriculture, smart farming or digital agriculture. Smart farming provides farmers with a diverse set of tools to address issues related to food production, labor productivity, environmental impact, country food security and crop resilience. It is emphasized that the integration of the Internet of things in agriculture is intended to provide farmers with decision-making tools and automation technologies, while cloud systems have the potential to solve problems associated with an increase in the need for food, environmental pollution caused by the excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers in crop production, as well as with the safety of agricultural products. Promising is the introduction of agricultural robots that use a combination of the latest technologies such as computer vision, wireless sensors, satellite navigation systems, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and the Internet of things, which allows farmers to increase the productivity and improve the quality of agricultural goods. It is indicated that artificial intelligence technologies are one of the key factors in the digitalization of agriculture.
