Abstract: 
The rapid development of digital technologies has propelled the introduction of digitization in all fields. Among them is agriculture. Thus, farmers can benefit from innovations that make their work easier and increase their efficiency. Digitization aims to increase competitiveness in terms of agricultural production in a shorter period and has the role of helping to prevent the large losses that are specific to agriculture carried out using traditional methods. Through digitization (i) losses caused by poor production planning can be prevented, based on inaccurate data, (ii) the erroneous design of agricultural activities is reduced, such as the delayed application of protection treatments against pests, (iii) reduces/eliminates the lack of transparency regarding the information you must provide in relation to each product.
