Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The growth of the world population in recent decades has created the need to increase food production, and this growing demand generates the need for greater efficiency and productivity in agriculture. Thus, countries that want to be competitive in the agricultural sector need to introduce technological improvements in order to reduce costs and increase the yield of agricultural activity. In this paper, we highlight the importance of the agricultural sector in Brazil’s GDP and present some examples of new technologies, mainly based on semiconductor devices, applied to the agricultural sector.
