Segurança Alimentar, Agricultura Inteligente E Sustentabilidade: O Estado Da Arte No Campo Científico

Abstract

Issues of food supply, agriculture and sustainability are emerging issues in science at the global level. The present study sought to analyze the scientific production by means of a survey of data that occurred from the research in the databases of Web of Science and Scopus, which allowed a textual search using the terms: Topic: (food security) AND Topic: (smart farming) AND Topic: (sust *). A total of 28 articles were selected to analyze the literature on food security as well as the contributions of intelligent agriculture and sustainability. From the selection of the articles we tried to make a quantitative analysis offered by the mentioned documents. Studies have generally been concerned about environmental impacts, ie environmental degradation, through increased greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, degradation of hydrographic resources and soil. Above all, these studies seek to establish strategies to mitigate these impacts, in order to contribute to the reduction of these environmental consequences and to provide an improvement in the food supply, from the intelligent agriculture to the development of sustainable practices and systems

Integrated-Smart Agriculture: Contexts and Assumptions for a Broader Concept

“…In the relationships between the agricultural sector, food security and the environmental impacts, on the framework of the climate change, the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) approach appears as a promising solution [40] for the sustainability [4] with the following three objectives: improve the resilience of the farming sector to the climate change; mitigate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; and guarantee the food security [60]. The resilience will be the main challenge to deal with the climate change [61] and the transition to smart solutions is unstoppable [62].…”

“…These tasks call for pioneering solutions. The technological development may play here a relevant and determinant role, namely with innovative practices associated with, for example, the vertical/urban farming, seawater and desert farming [3], as well as smart agriculture [4]. The literature highlights the relevance of the smart agriculture concept and practices to increase the sustainability in the farms.…”
