Abstract

"Agriculture 4.0" represents a great potential to contribute to the expansion of the competitiveness of Brazilianagribusiness. To take advantage of this potential, it is intended to identify and propose strategic practices togetherwith farmers and ranchers inserted in Agro Technological Districts (DATs) through multidisciplinary practices. Toachieve the proposed objective, mappings will be carried out in the regions of all DATs, previously defined by theCCA-AD, and subsequent monitoring through indicators. Using quantitative studies (surveys), and qualitative(interviews, focus groups) we seek to understand how the process of adoption of technologies by Brazilian farmersand ranchers takes place and how this technology enables the improvement of the socioeconomic conditions ofthe producer and the ecosystem in which he is inserted. Based on the aggregated data, it is intended to carry outdiagnoses that will subsidize the development of solutions for farmers and ranchers, technical reports andscientific research that aim to disseminate the impact of the actions of this project in the context of the ruralproducer, and training according to the needs of the actors involved in the DATs.
