Abstract

The goal of the paper is to illustrate the relations between Internet of Things and Agriculture, in the framework of the strategical vision enhanced by Agenda 2030. The integration is made possible by management systems, whose adoption by economic organizations is growing over the years. The paper starts introducing management systems in economic organizations. It continues drawing a parallel between the consequences of policies for sustainability that have involved manufacturing companies and the evolution of agriculture, till the point of precision agriculture. Mechanization and automatization of agriculture are considered as means that evolve thanks to the introduction of electronic and software innovations, and, today, with the connection to the Internet. From Things to Connected Things and the Internet of Things. The concepts and implications of the IoT for agriculture are discussed through examples, useful for estimating the potential of the IoT Scatol8 is introduced to approach the design of Grass8, an ongoing project oriented towards sustainable management of pastures will be showed. In the conclusion, strong and weak points of IoT applications will be discussed.
