Resumo(s)
Technology plays a crucial role in the management of natural resources in agricultural
production. Free and open-source software and sensor technology solutions have the potential to
promote more sustainable agricultural production. The goal of this rapid review is to find exclusively
free and open-source software for precision agriculture, available in different electronic databases,
with emphasis on their characteristics and application formats, aiming at promoting sustainable
agricultural production. A thorough search of the Google Scholar, GitHub, and GitLab electronic
databases was performed for this purpose. Studies reporting and/or repositories containing up-todate software were considered for this review. The various software packages were evaluated based
on their characteristics and application formats. The search identified a total of 21 free and open-source
software packages designed specifically for precision agriculture. Most of the identified software
was shown to be extensible and customizable, while taking into account factors such as transparency,
speed, and security, although some limitations were observed in terms of repository management and
source control. This rapid review suggests that free and open-source software and sensor technology
solutions play an important role in the management of natural resources in sustainable agricultural
production, and highlights the main technological approaches towards this goal. Finally, while this
review performs a preliminary assessment of existing free and open source solutions, additional
research is needed to evaluate their effectiveness and usability in different scenarios, as well as their
relevance in terms of environmental and economic impact on agricultural production.
