In this article, a model was proposed based on Smart Agriculture technologies to mitigate the effects of frost, which is one of the phenomena that significantly affects the Cundiboyacense plateau agricultural production. The basis of this model is data from real-time environmental information to generate forecasts and alerts that would be used to activate irrigation or fertilizer systems and help farmers in the decision-making process. Despite encountering some investment, cultural and accessibility barriers if the model is applied, it is intended that the long-term economic and product quality benefits would be higher.
