Informatics with agricultural applications

Farmers, owners of agricultural enterprises and rural residents increasingly require integrated technical and economic information for production, commercial and consumer decisions. They can access this information through the direct use of computerized and electronic services. Of course, the existence of appropriate network connections is necessary for the use of Internet services. It is gratifying that the Internet access of enterprises, farms and farmers operating in agriculture is constantly improving. The Internet appears as an integrating platform in almost all applications. The integration of GIS, remote sensing, sensor and wireless technologies is strengthening in precision agricultural applications. Agricultural applications of E-business technologies are also growing rapidly. In addition to an overview of the most important IT topics, the book provides insight into the application areas of agricultural economics, such as: information systems, E-administration, mobile Internet, product identification and product tracking technologies. It encompasses knowledge that is essential for both the training of higher-level agricultural professionals and for professionals working in practice.
