Item Transformación Digital en la Agricultura de Caña de Azúcar en Colombia, Valle del Cauca. Una revisión(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Borrero Lucumi, Anny Jailin; Santafé Ramon, Yesid EugenioThe purpose of this review article is to carry out an analysis of the digital transformation in the production, efficiency, and sustainability of sugarcane plantations in Valle del Cauca, since the digital transformation in the plantations of this crop, specifically in the vicinity of the municipality of Palmira, Valle del Cauca, marks a significant advance in today's agriculture, since it represents half of the national total. In this sense, the adoption of systems that optimize and monitor intelligently supported by technologies such as sensors, drones, and geographic information systems, emerges as a key solution to adapt varieties, optimize agricultural inputs, and predict yields, reduce costs, and mitigate risks. Thus, several objectives were investigated focused on identifying the most common digital technologies implemented in sugarcane plantations, investigating how the adoption of digital technologies has influenced the efficiency and productivity of agricultural operations in the selected plantations. For this purpose, a deductive approach was used, starting from general principles towards specific facts, and a qualitative exploratory research was adopted to describe the fundamental properties and characteristics of thephenomenon in an organized and coherent way. Forty-four articles available in databases such as: Scopus, Science Direct, IEEE Xplore, SpringerLink, Google Scholar, Web sites and Mendeley was used as bibliographic manager. Specific search terms such as “sugarcane”, “agricultural optimization”, “intelligent monitoring”, “precision agriculture” and “Palmira Valle del Cauca” were used and the search was limited to indexed articles, published in English and Spanish from 2018 to 2023. The results of this review allow evidencing a remarkable transformation in the cultivation of sugarcane in Palmira, Valle del Cauca, thanks to the initiatives and efforts of some organizations and companies in the sugar sector that have initiated the implementation of smart technologies. In addition, this article analyzed the relevance and effectiveness of digital transformation in sugarcane plantations, by implementing precision agriculture technologies. Finally, it was inferred that digital transformation in sugarcane plantations has proven to be a significant milestone in modern agriculture, improving efficiency, sustainability, and yields. Although implementation challenges remain, such as associated costs and the need for training, the transformative potential of these technologies for the future of agriculture locally and globally is undeniable
