Abstract

Small rural properties are fundamental to food production, representing around 70% of the Brazilian domestic market. Although they have great relevance on the national scene, incentives for small producers are scarce, with few initiatives dedicated to improving practices for this productive niche. Aiming to assist the operation of these workers, we carried out a case study with a group of producers from the rural municipality of Nova Friburgo that resulted in the development of a platform called “Plantae” aimed at small rural properties. Plantae improves the management of the plantations to control production, inputs, and other related activities. The tool was developed componentized and can be extended according to new demands. The Agricultural Input Management Module was tested through a proof of concept at one of the partner sites. The results provide evidence that our approach facilitated material management in crops.
