Digital agriculture (DA) can contribute solutions to meet an increase in healthy, nutritious, and affordable food demands in an efficient and sustainable way. South America (SA) is one of the main grain and protein producers in the world but the status of DA in the region is unknown. A systematic review and case studies from Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile were conducted to address the following objectives:(1) quantify adoption of existing DA technologies, (2) identify limitations for DA adoption; and (3) summarise existing metrics to benchmark DA benefits.

El análisis que se presenta en este documento busca describir los aportes del INIA, a través de sus programas nacionales y sus proyectos, para generar un aumento de oportunidades de las personas para vivir una vida plena y saludable. Para describir el aporte del INIA al desarrollo humano son particularmente útiles los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas, un marco de referencia para los gobiernos, las empresas y la sociedad civil para generar acciones dirigidas a mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas.

ABSTRACT:The expansion and intensification of agriculture frequently affect riparian zones, mainly in basins where agriculture is the most important activity. In countries with basins dominated by agricultural activities, land use change in riparian zones promotes water quality loss and biodiversity degradation. As a tool to prevent these environmental impacts, the delimitation of riparian zones and buffer strips is crucial. For that purpose, photo interpretation jobs and botanical studies are usually necessary.

Abstract:Crop cycles in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) and carinata (Brassica carinata A. Braun) are controlled by temperature and photoperiod. In the central region of South America, which accounts for 90% of South American rapeseed crop production, farmers seek to sow as early as possible to maximize yield even though early sowing dates expose crops to a higher probability of frost occurrence that had not been quantified before.

Abstract To evaluate the effect of a short-term energy-protein supplementation during the peripartum on birth, colostrum, and vigour traits of lambs, 214 multiparous Corriedale pregnant ewes grazing native pastures were used. Ewes, according to body conditions score and body weight, were assigned to a 2 × 2 factorial design:type of birth (single or twin), and supplementation (yes or no). Single (n = 67) and twin bearing (n = 39) non-supplemented, and single (n = 67) and twin bearing supplemented ewes (n = 41) were observed during lambing in two similar sub-paddocks.
