APPLICATION OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

 This article examines the use of information technology in agriculture, where many innovations are constantly being introduced, from genetic modifications of seeds to automation of harvesting. Research shows that some technologies can exacerbate the instability of agri-food systems. Although digitalization in general can optimize the use of fertilizers and seeds, this advantage is mainly gained by large agrarian enterprises engaged in monocultures, which actualizes the problems of biodiversity and depletion of natural resources.
