| Abstract: | Water scarcity has been a major limiting factor in Brazilian agriculture, where the activity consumes a significant amount of water, energy, and agricultural inputs, besides degrading watercourses. Despite Brazil boasting a remarkable hydrographic network, it consists of a disproportionate distribution in various regions of its territory. One such region where agricultural activity is present is the municipality of Ibirité, focusing on the external community near the IFMG-Ibirité campus. Due to a great use of Paraopeba River Basin in irrigation, there is a need to manage water resources for this primary sector, aiming to meet various demands and avoid conflicts over water usage. Therefore, this present work aims to implement basic concepts of Precision Agriculture within the community surrounding the IFMG-Ibirité. Precision Agriculture is a modern approach to farming that uses data analytics and technology to optimize the use of resources in agriculture, including water, energy, and agricultural inputs. The approach uses sensors, drones, and other tools to collect data on soil moisture, temperature, and other factors that affect crop growth. This data is then analyzed using machine learning algorithms to provide insights that help farmers optimize their farming practices. The results of the present work have shown that the development of a monitoring and data acquisition system regarding irrigation (water consumption) and energy usage guarantee greater viability and efficiency in vegetable production, promoting a more sustainable economy. With the help of Precision Agriculture, farmers can optimize water usage in their fields, reduce energy consumption, and improve crop yields. In addition to improving the efficiency of farming practices, Precision Agriculture can also help farmers reduce the environmental impact of their activities. By optimizing water usage, farmers can reduce the amount of water that is wasted or lost to runoff, which can help protect watercourses and other natural resources in Ibirité region. |
