As information systems and technologies grow in usage in the agri-food industry, the same has happened to the relevance of Information Systems (IS) that allow for a parallel control, monitoring and management of the organizations' activities and business processes. As the literature proves, the benefits of implementing adequate and interoperable IS are very numerous and tend to represent a significant determinant regarding the organizations' overall success. Despite this, to the best of our knowledge there currently is no IS architecture designed to serve the specificities of the agri-food industry. With this study a novel information systems architecture for the agri-food sector is proposed. The artefact is composed by 12 integrated main components and a set of subcomponents aimed at supporting all the monitoring, control and management activities. In order to validate the proposed architecture a case study was implemented at a mushroom production organization. This allowed us to perceive the ability of our artefact to serve as the basis for the development of IS that address all of the organization's business and environmental needs.

农业食品行业的集成信息系统架构

随着农业食品行业中信息系统和技术的使用不断增长，信息系统（IS）的相关性也发生了变化，该信息系统允许对组织的活动和业务流程进行并行控制，监视和管理。正如文献所证明的那样，实施适当且可互操作的IS的好处非常多，并且往往代表着组织整体成功的重要决定因素。尽管如此，据我们所知，目前还没有旨在服务于农业食品行业特殊性的IS体系结构。通过这项研究，提出了一种用于农业食品领域的新型信息系统架构。该工件由12个集成的主要组件和一组子组件组成，旨在支持所有监视，控制和管理活动。为了验证提议的体系结构，在蘑菇生产组织中进行了案例研究。这使我们能够感知人工制品作为开发IS的基础的能力，该IS可以满足组织的所有业务和环境需求。
