Information systems in organic agriculture – A review

Abstract

Organic agriculture is becoming an increasingly significant component of the global food system, with a focus on environmental sustainability and product quality. Information systems and technologies play a crucial role in supporting organic production, environmental conservation, and the production of safe and healthy safe food. The application of precision agriculture, utilizing cutting-edge technological systems, enables pest and disease monitoring and management, efficient water and energy management, digital product identification, the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for crop planning, and blockchain technology for supply chain transparency. Through these applications, information systems and technologies significantly contribute to reducing the negative environmental impacts of agriculture, increasing productivity, and ensuring healthy safe food with greater nutritional benefits in organic farming. This symbiosis of science and technology in organic agriculture helps create more sustainable agricultural systems that can meet the needs of current and future generations.
