    Hunger Zero: Agriculture Optimization Using Modern Technologies
    (2023-11) Amateis, Gonzalo; Colli, Facundo Ariel; Larrosa, Genaro
    Abstract— Hunger is a persistent and complex global issue. Inadequate access to food and essential nutrients, especially among children, leads to malnutrition with severe health implications. This paper highlights the significance of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly "Zero Hunger," in addressing this challenge. Most of the products that we consume every day come from the agricultural sector, but they are not always of the best quality because they can be influenced by factors such as climate conditions, pests, diseases, cultivation techniques and fertilizers. Here is where the digital transformation in the agricultural sector called Agriculture 4.0 comes into play. The aim of this paper is to address the global issue of hunger. To fulfill this aim, the paper will explore how the agricultural industry can increase its productivity and obtain high-quality food products using Agriculture 4.0 technologies. In order to achieve its purpose, this paper will first address the serious issue of global hunger and the challenges that the agricultural industry faces. Then, it will delve deeper into the proposed solution and discuss the productivity improvement generated by Agriculture 4.0. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of using technology in the agricultural sectors will be analyzed. This paper aims to raise awareness of the significant impact that agriculture has on the life of every individual and how the quality of agricultural products could be improved by implementing certain changes in the production processes. Throughout the text, information is provided that will influence its readers and offer them a new perspective on something as commonplace as agriculture, but from a more technological point of view.
