Resumo

This article analyzes the role of digital agriculture in mitigating food inflation in Brazil, highlighting how emerging technologies-such as artificial intelligence, smart sensors, and big data-can increase productive efficiency and sustainability in the agricultural sector. Through an exploratory methodology, the research discusses the challenges and opportunities of digitalization for small- and medium-sized producers, exploring its impact on competitiveness and market accessibility. In addition, it examines the relationship between the adoption of these technologies and the dynamics of agricultural prices, contributing to an essential debate on innovation, food security, and digital inclusion in the rural world. We found that digital agriculture can mitigate food inflation by improving productivity, enhancing supply chain efficiency, and reducing input costs, while underscoring the need for inclusive public policies to ensure equitable adoption among small- and medium-sized producers. The study highlights the need for public policies that foster digital inclusion in agriculture through rural connectivity, targeted training, and access to credit, ensuring that technological advances translate into equitable and sustainable development.
