Digitalising agriculture & rural areas

date:  27/06/2019

This year’s EU Digital Day enabled EU Member States to pool resources to accelerate digital developments in agriculture and rural areas, among others.

25 EU Member States signed the declaration on ‘a smart and sustainable digital future for European agriculture and rural areas’, recognising the potential of digital technologies to tackle urgent economic, social, climate and environmental challenges facing the EU's agri-food sector and rural areas.

See the dedicated section on ENRD website for digitisation of rural areas and the EIP-AGRI website on digitising agriculture.
