Abstract

Señora Editora Las Neurociencias están siendo protagonistas en los avances tecnológicos del siglo XXI,1 desarrollos catalizados por la Quinta Revolución Industrial (5RI). Esta carta presenta los principales componentes de la interacción Neurociencias-Tecnologías 5RI, vínculo revolucionario para la biomedicina y otras áreas.

The Fifth Industrial Revolution in Agricultural Sciences

“…AI applications in building solutions for agriculturerelated problems empower farmers to continue farming sustainably, protecting natural resources, improving quality, and ensuring quick market penetration of various crops [1,3]. However, AI is becoming widespread in a vast variety of productive sectors, which is a sign of a significant change in technological and productive paradigms that translate into the arrival of the fifth industrial revolution [4][5][6][7][8]. This letter to the editor aims to explain how the Fifth Industrial Revolution penetrates processes worldwide, particularly in agricultural sciences.…”

“…In particular, the fifth industrial revolution possesses specific distinctive characteristics that will impact the agricultural sciences, highlighting among them: (i) mass customisation, which is a marketing and manufacturing technique combining the flexibility and personalisation of custom-made agricultural products with the low unit costs associated with mass production; (ii) cross-cultural collaboration, creating a need for strategic and relational skills that deal with working in plural and multi-layered agricultural markets; (iii) personalisation, implying focusing on the requirements of people as users, patients, beneficiaries or clients [6][7][8]; (iv) environmentally friendly technological processes, whose application in agricultural sciences includes, for example, the internet of things [2,11], AI [3], robotics (and cobotics) [6][7][8][9], to help make agriculture more sustainable; (v) cyber-physical systems that use embedded computing and sensor networks to monitor and manage the physical environment, collaborating with a more efficient and effective precision agriculture, with the potential for substantial economic and environmental benefits; and (vi) AI, that Fig. 1.…”
