Farming with use of the IoF

This chapter outlines the features of digitized solutions implemented at the farm level. Each case study presented includes descriptions of both conventional solutions and those utilizing digitization. The focus is on diverse aspects of agricultural production, farm management, and their interaction with other market players, such as crop monitoring and protection, animal feeding and welfare management systems, smart farm machines, farm management systems, and food traceability systems. Contemporary solutions based on the concept of agriculture 4.0 facilitate decision-making and process/operation monitoring for agricultural producers. By utilizing artificial intelligence, data analysis enables efficient resource management, process optimization, negative environmental impact mitigation, and ensures high-quality agricultural products. The solutions presented in this chapter encompass:

Characteristics of the conventional solution, which are brief descriptions showing the presented process or operation without considering digitization.

Indications of areas where digitization can be implemented, which highlight processes/operations that can be improved through digitization.

Characteristics of solutions for processes or operations with digital elements, along with their features.

The benefits of implementing digitized solutions.
