Abstract:
The ubiquity of digital technologies is transforming agriculture and food production. Specifically, in the agricultural sector, the diffusion of mobile technologies, remote sensing services and distributed computing are already improving producers' access to information, inputs and markets, increasing production and productivity, streamlining supply chains and reducing operating costs and environmental impact. But it's not just about farmers. Consumers, both at home and abroad, are becoming more knowledgeable about the products they buy. They demand high-quality, sustainably produced food and fiber and want to learn more about where products come from.
