This article explores the benefits and use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in agrotourism cattle farms management, aiming to highlight their impact on operational efficiency and agricultural sustainability. It presents the process of designing, implementing, and operating a GIS system customized for cattle farms, with details on its integration with modern technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, cloud computing, augmented reality, and remote sensing. The adopted methodology includes an analysis of how GIS can be used for land and pasture management, animal health monitoring, optimizing feeding, farm infrastructure planning, spatial analysis of assets, tracking animal vaccinations, monitoring staff locations, and disease management. The results obtained demonstrate that the use of GIS for agrotourism cattle farms management significantly improves resource management, reducing costs and risks. The GIS system enables the collection and analysis of geospatial data, providing precise information that aids in making informed decisions. The main conclusion of the research is that the use of GIS in cattle farms is essential for optimizing production and enhancing sustainability. The implementation of this system, combined with emerging technologies, will revolutionize agricultural management, contributing to the creation of more efficient, climate-resilient, and environmentally responsible farms.
