Agriculture 4.0 – Agriculture 4.0 is the implementation of emerging technologies and innovative services on the agriculture, which require a cultural and behavioral change in all actors involved in the agricultural production chain, to increase their productivity and efficiency and support a more sustainable agriculture, using precise and momentary of information that will help make strategic decisions (da Silveira et al. 2021).
Agricultural Production Chain – The agricultural production chain can be defined as all the processes from the primary inputs to the transformation into the final product. That is, it involves all the steps that the input undergoes until it becomes a product. The chain processes are classified into the following field states: pre-field (genetics development and seed development), in-field (planting and harvesting), and post-field (distribution, processing, and consumer).
