EP4- Agricultura conectada: quando a tecnologia trabalha por nós com Luís Carvalho

In this episode of the "Nas Quintas Dela" podcast, I talk with Luís Miguel Carvalho, agricultural engineer and technical manager at ISAGRI, about the digitalization of agriculture and the role of smart tools in managing farms. We discuss agricultural management software, digital field notebooks, data collection, the Internet of Things, sensors, weather stations, irrigation management, cost control, bureaucracy, and decision-making in the farmer's daily life. Throughout the conversation, Luís explains how technology can help producers better organize farm information, meet legal requirements, manage resources, understand production costs, and make more informed decisions. We also demystify the idea that agricultural technology is only for large farms or young farmers. We also discuss the current challenges facing the sector: the lack of manpower, excessive bureaucracy, the image of the farmer in society, initial resistance to digitalization, and the importance of transforming data into useful knowledge. This episode is part of the series “Cultivating Resilience: The Future of Agriculture with the Common Agricultural Policy”, organized by the COMPACTO Project, coordinated by Inova Mais and co-financed by the European Union.
