Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 國際經營管理英語碩士學位學程(IMBA) === 107 === Agriculture in Ecuador is not efficient due to the limitations in terms of technology in its production processes. Research has shown that Ecuadorian farmers do not use any technology to work their land, generating waste of resources and slow development. This study aims to show the historical delay of certain countries, using Ecuador as an example, due to the lack of information. In this context, the application of IoT throughout the world has been studied, in order to evidence the positive results obtained. Based on a content analysis, this research takes a brief journey, from the four Industrial Revolutions to the current applications of the IoT (Internet of Things) technology in agriculture. In addition, the research analyzes the situation of agriculture in Ecuador with respect to the use of technology. Additionally, two simple and useful IoT systems have been studied and explained, with the purpose of illustrating their specific and real positive effects. Finally, a proposal for the implementation IoT Technology in agriculture is analyzed, through the associative and cooperative models, revealing a promising scenario of opportunities.
