The Application and Role of Digital Technologies in the
Agrarian Sector in Modern Times
Abstract
The digital transformation of agriculture, often referred to as Digital Agriculture (DA), involves the integration of advanced digital technologies into agricultural practices and processes. This includes the use of tools such as sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics to enhance agricultural productivity, optimize resource management, and improve decision-making. The primary goal of digital agriculture is to improve the efficiency of farming practices, reduce waste, and increase crop yields, while also addressing challenges like pest management and climate change. The development of digital platforms and data collection systems allows farmers and stakeholders to make data-driven decisions, fostering sustainable agricultural practices. In Azerbaijan, significant efforts are being made to modernize the agricultural sector through the application of these technologies, aiming to boost export potential and improve the country’s overall agricultural performance. As the digitalization process progresses, it is expected that these technologies will continue to drive growth in the agricultural sector, improve productivity, and foster greater efficiency in production and management practices.
