Learning and using digital technologies
As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.

The introduction and uptake of technologies requires new skills and knowledge for farmers and advisers. Raising awareness and organising training on a regional/local level is essential, especially to reach small and medium-sized farms where the use of digital technologies is not always thought of as profitable. Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) can play an important role in promoting mutual learning, to generate, share, and use knowledge and information related to digitisation in agriculture.
Specific data analysis tools, including those with a special focus on costs-benefits, can help farm advisers to play a critical role in informing farmers on digital technologies.
