Agriculture is in need of digitalization

The ID20 Institute is, as a partner, involved in the Agriskills project, which focuses on challenges in the digitalization of agriculture. We contributed to the catalog of best practices, which was recently published on the Agriskills website. More than 30 best practices showcase the potential of digitalizing agriculture.

In today's rapidly changing world, technology plays a crucial role in shaping the future of every sector, including agriculture. The digitalization of agriculture, often referred to as 'Agriculture 4.0', represents a revolutionary path towards greater productivity, sustainability, and economic efficiency. By incorporating innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data, we can transform traditional agricultural practices into efficient and optimized processes.

Imagine a farm where every plant is meticulously monitored by sensors measuring soil moisture, temperature, and other vital parameters. These real-time data are transmitted to smart devices, enabling farmers to make informed decisions that reduce water consumption and improve yields. This is not science fiction but the reality of digitized agriculture.

However, digitalization not only brings technological breakthroughs but also the need for education and training for farmers. By understanding and embracing digital tools, agricultural workers can empower themselves to become more self-sufficient and innovative. Through e-learning and online training, the agricultural community can learn how to best utilize digital technologies to enhance their operations.

Digitalization brings forth numerous new challenges in the field of agriculture.

Catalog of Best Practices

As part of the Agriskills project, we assisted partners in preparing a catalog of best practices, which is published on the Agriskills platform. Additionally, the catalog describes existing digital technologies and showcases how farmers across Europe have already implemented innovative solutions. We have categorized the best practices into various professional fields, allowing for easier discovery and navigation through the catalog.

The catalog successfully complements the Agriskills course, which we recently introduced. The course is available in 5 languages, offering participants basic knowledge of digitalization in agriculture. It enables self-paced learning according to the participant's schedule. All 5 modules, prepared in collaboration with partners, address solutions for precision and smart farming as well as digital transformation strategies.

You can access the course and the catalog of best practices on the platform https://training.agriskills40.com/.
