Abstract

Smart agriculture, a science that combines the advantages offered by agricultural 4.0 technologies and the already consolidated agricultural industry, offers a new concept of farm, intensive application of information and communication technologies. Its practices are recognized as a way out of the growing challenge of producing more food using fewer resources, in addition to meeting new and demanding more sustainable consumption patterns. Although the potential benefits of popularizing this farm model are recognized, there are several challenges to be overcome for these practices to be implemented and disseminated. The objective of this study is to identify the main challenges to be overcome for the popularization of these practices. A systematic integrative review of publications available in the databases: Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct; Spell and Scielo, is presented. The results show that the main challenges are: (1) Digital Infrastructure, (2) Qualification, (3) Insecurity and Mistrust, (4) Integration and Customization and (5) Capital and Credit.
