The project focuses on agriculture, which plays an important role in the overall perspective of sustainable development. Currently, the environmental impact of agricultural operations is often not sustainable because it limits soil fertility and threatens biodiversity. At the same time, the conditions under which people working in agriculture live and the impact of agricultural activities on society and the regions must also be considered when assessing sustainability in agriculture. The project aims to address these issues by highlighting how so-called Agriculture 4.0 represents both development and a potential limitation on the employment of workers in the field.
The project will focus on:
- General introduction to the topic;
- Analysis of the consequences on jobs of digitisation of production processes in agriculture, the use of new devices such as GPS and GIS (geographic information systems) for high-precision mapping and management of field activities (precision farming), drones and satellites for monitoring crop conditions;
- drastic reduction in jobs.
