Impacts caused by the use oftechnology in dairy farming

a systematic literature review

Abstract

Milk is certainly one of the most consumed foods in the world, and that is why it has a strong economic role in several countries around the world. Brazil assumes a prominent role in the world production of this food, not only in natura, but also in by-products, with the milk chain being a great developer of jobs and having considerable importance in the construction construction of the national GDP. Technology is increasingly playing a very important role in several areas, not only in the industry but also in the countryside, as in properties where the main activity developed is dairy farming. The objective of this work was to investigate the impacts of the use of technology in the context of dairy farming. For this, a systematic literature review study was developed, where, to obtain studies addressing the topic, searches were performed in the Scielo and BDTD databases. The researched works aimed to answer the following question: What are the impacts of the use of technology in dairy farming?. The studies found show positive impacts in their results in relation to the use of technologies, on the other hand, small producers find it difficult to implement such technologies, and report that there is a lack of support from public policies. The conclusion is that the technology can indeed work as a tool to help milk producers to have greater production on their properties, but for that they need greater support from public development agencies.
