Information Technologies in the Agri-food Sector (agriculture, livestock, poultry, fisheries) can serve to reduce costs, timely detect diseases, ensure traceability, secure consistent quality of produced goods and by-products, provide timely forecasting, monitor financial and management parameters accurately, measure and protect the environment, promote green growth, and support the circular economy.
In the eMT cluster, advanced technologies related to the Internet of Things are used, including sensors and other data and information collectors, algorithmic approaches for supply chain service and information utilization, large databases (big data), and real-time transactional systems that lead to measurements of environmental impacts from agricultural activity. It involves the development of information repositories regarding crops and their management methods, traceability of milk, maximization of production, data collection, and the synthesis of information to feed integrated information systems.
