Harvesting Data. Developments for agriculture in the digital age

Abstract

This work presents a review of more than 20 years of technological development of AgroTICs at the Agricultural Experimental Station (EEA) Anguil of the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) focused on the digitization, management and exploitation of agricultural data. More than 20 information systems were generated through interdisciplinary work and in conjunction with more than 25 organizations and companies. These achievements are analyzed from the axes of technology, its evolution and access, the actors understood as internal to the institution and external or beneficiaries of digital solutions and geographic scope. They are also part of the evolution and maturation of the information management cycle, presenting the transformation from the spreadsheet-database-business intelligence-data science. In each axis and moment of evolution concrete examples are given with developed products. They finally show up recommendations for the development and transfer of digital solutions based on this experience.
