Abstract

The agri-food system of the world is undergoing a radical change in relation to the future scenario with the reconfiguration of the production factors. The future of agriculture, following the other sectors, will be that of an innovative agriculture based on digitization. The future outlook indicates that a “digital agricultural revolution” will be the change that would allow to have the quantities of food for the needs of the whole world. Predictive analysis is a tool that would provide the best use of production, reduce waste, and satisfy food needs. The process uses heterogeneous data, often large in size, in models capable of generating clear and immediately usable results to more easily achieve this goal, such as reducing material waste and inventory, and to obtain a finished product that meets specifications. The proposed theoretical model represents a first modeling to make usable the innumerable amount of data that, in the future, the agri-food system, through digital transformation, will be able to provide, to which it will be necessary to give an adequate response in methodological and operational terms.
