Digitalization and sustainable development: revolutionizing agriculture for a greener future
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to provide an in-depth analysis of the impact of digitalization on agriculture and its key role in ensuring sustainable development of the sector. Increasing global demand for food due to population growth makes the issue of food security more important. Digitalization of agriculture is seen as a critical tool to improve productivity and efficiency in agriculture as well as to mitigate the negative impact on the environment. The study includes a comprehensive analysis of various aspects of digitalization such as the application of information technology, sensors, automated systems and data analytics to monitor and manage all stages of agricultural processes. These technologies do not only facilitate accurate resource management, but also optimize production processes by reducing the consumption of water and chemical fertilizers, which in turn contributes to improving the environmental sustainability of agriculture. It is emphasized that the digitalization of agriculture has the potential to be a key factor in shaping a greener and more sustainable future for rural regions and the planet. In the context of current challenges such as climate change and the striving for sustainable development, this study provides not only practical recommendations but also valuable scientific perspectives, revealing how digital technologies can effectively contribute to improving food production in an environmentally sustainable manner.
