Resumen
Resumen. Agroconecta: Plataforma de Intermediación para el Arrendamiento de Tierras Agrícolas Agroconecta es una plataforma innovadora diseñada para facilitar el arrendamiento de tierras agrícolas, conectando a agricultores y propietarios de tierras de manera eficiente y efectiva. Basada en una investigación exhaustiva y un proceso iterativo de desarrollo, Agroconecta ofrece una solución integral que aborda los desafíos específicos del sector agrícola. Muchos agricultores enfrentan vulnerabilidad legal debido a la falta de asesoramiento y contratos adecuados, y el proceso actual de arrendamiento es ineficiente y laborioso. Además, las nuevas generaciones no muestran interés en la agricultura, complicando la continuidad del sector. Los agricultores también necesitan información detallada sobre las fincas, como altitud, tipo de suelo y disponibilidad de agua, para tomar decisiones informadas. Agroconecta aborda estos problemas con herramientas de búsqueda y filtrado avanzadas, acceso fácil y gratuito al contacto del propietario, evaluaciones financieras, modelos de contrato flexibles y una interfaz intuitiva diseñada para ser fácil de usar, incluso para aquellos agricultores que no son nativos digitales. La plataforma tiene el propósito de mejorar la eficiencia en el uso de propiedades agrícolas, evitando su abandono y subutilización, y contribuir al desarrollo económico de las zonas rurales, reduciendo la desigualdad al brindar mayor acceso y oportunidades a la población. También facilitar la adopción de tecnologías modernas en el sector agrícola, apoyando la participación de las nuevas generaciones. Para asegurar el éxito de Agroconecta, se recomienda incluir servicios legales personalizados y modelos de contratos bien estructurados, desarrollar recursos educativos para aumentar la competencia de los usuarios en la gestión de arrendamientos, enfocar en una plataforma intuitiva con el apoyo de las nuevas generaciones para su implementación, y ofrecer modelos de contrato flexibles que incluyan cláusulas de gracia para apoyar a los agricultores en sus inversiones iniciales. Agroconecta tiene el potencial de establecerse como una herramienta esencial en el arrendamiento agrícola, promoviendo prácticas sostenibles y apoyando el crecimiento del sector. Con esta plataforma, se busca impulsar un cambio positivo y duradero en las comunidades rurales.
Abstract. Agroconecta: Farmland Leasing Brokerage Platform Agroconecta is an innovative platform designed to facilitate farmland leasing by connecting farmers and landowners efficiently and effectively. Based on extensive research and an iterative development process, Agroconecta offers a comprehensive solution that addresses the specific challenges of the agricultural sector. Many farmers face legal vulnerability due to lack of proper advice and contracts, and the current leasing process is inefficient and laborious. In addition, new generations show no interest in farming, complicating the continuity of the sector. Farmers also need detailed information on farms, such as altitude, soil type and water availability, to make informed decisions. Agroconecta addresses these issues with advanced search and filtering tools, free and easy access to landowner contact, financial evaluations, flexible contract models and an intuitive interface designed to be easy to use, even for farmers who are not digital natives. The platform aims to improve efficiency in the use of agricultural properties, avoiding their abandonment and underutilisation, and to contribute to the economic development of rural areas, reducing inequality by providing greater access and opportunities to the population. It also facilitates the adoption of modern technologies in the agricultural sector, supporting the participation of new generations. To ensure the success of Agroconecta, it is recommended to include customised legal services and well-structured contract models, develop educational resources to increase users' competence in lease management, focus on an intuitive platform with the support of new generations for its implementation, and offer flexible contract models that include grace clauses to support farmers in their initial investments. Agroconecta has the potential to establish itself as an essential tool in agricultural leasing, promoting sustainable practices and supporting the growth of the sector. With this platform, it seeks to drive positive and lasting change in rural communities.
