Abstract

IT (Information Technology) has been used to solve problems from different domains. In the context of agriculture, IT is being applied for increasing the productivity as well as for empowering farmers to make decisions. Some of the technologies used in agriculture are the Decision Support Systems, Semantic Web, Cloud computing, Internet of Things and Big data. There are a lot of agriculture processes where IT solutions can be implemented. In this sense, it is important to provide a general perspective on the role of IT in agriculture, emphasizing its effects on agriculture. This work presents a systematic literature review that aims to obtain a solid background in the use of IT in agriculture. The results obtained depicts the need of integrating IT solutions to agriculture as well as the need for allowing farmers and experts work in cooperation to generate systems that combine different technologies for providing low-cost solutions.
