Internet das coisas (IoT) e novas dinâmicas da produção agrícola no campo brasileiro by Mait Bertollo, Ricardo Abid Castillo, Matheus Dezidério Busca

“…Since the advent of the Internet of Things, the growth rate of data production and its transmission speed have increased exponentially and demand the connection of rural establishments and production stages to telecommunications networks. The analysis of the agents involved in the development, diffusion and connection of these systems and the assessment of their impacts on agricultural production allow us to visualize two complementary and contradictory processes in the Brazilian countryside: 1) the deepening of inequalities, arising from the socially and spatially selective diffusion of digital technologies; 2) the potential mitigation of the deleterious effects of the first trend, that is, of the disparities between agents of the upper and lower circuit of agrarian economies, through the diffusion and trivialization of the use of information technologies and internet infrastructures in the context of family farming, valuing the diverse knowledge of small and medium producers and cooperatives.…”
