BRANCO, Frederico; MARTINS, José  and  GONCALVES, Ramiro. From Information Systems and Technologies to a Technological Proposal for an Agri-Food Industry InformationSystem: The Sousacamp Group. RISTI [online]. 2016, n.18, pp.18-32. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.18.18-32.

The agri-food industry has been growing at a considerable pace over the recent years. An example of this growth is the mushroom production sector, whose specificities associated with the production process enforce a very controlled management of all the resources applied to that activity. Considering that the existing literature does not present a transverse solution to the referred activity sector, we have endured in an effort to present a technological proposal for an information system directed to the mushroom production sector. The presented proposal, composed by 13 interconnected functional blocks, is the result of a detailed analysis to the technical and functional requirements of Sousacamp Group - a leading organization from the mushroom production sector - merged with the arguments and perspectives presented by technology adoption theories.

Keywords : IST; Agri-food Industry; Agri-food; Technology Adoption.
