Um sistema de rastreamento e visitação virtual de propriedades rurais da Cacauicultura Capixaba

Abstract

This work presents the development of an Internet application that allows the tracking of agricultural products and the virtual visitation of rural properties located in the Linhares Geographical Indication (GI) of cocoa, created at the request of the Associação dos Cacauicultores do Espírito Santo (ACAU). Headquartered in Linhares, Espírito Santo, ACAU is currently working to strengthen its brand on a national and international scale and looking for ways to add value to its GI product, the cocoa bean. The methodology used in the development of the tracking technology used by Cacauicultura Capixaba is described in this manuscript, from the method used for the dissemination of laboratory information on the characteristics of the almonds to the display of aerial and panoramic images of the property where he was cultivated. As a result, a tool aligned with the Agriculture 4.0 concept is obtained, allowing the final consumer of the almond to track information that certifies the quality of the product while also virtually knowing the geographical location where it was produced. This alignment raises the profile of producers included in the Geographical Indication as well as ACAU.
