Education needs of farmers in European precision agriculture from new IT technologies suppliers point of view

This study was conducted in 2022 with a survey of 25 new IT agro-technologies suppliers from seven European countries to answer the questions about their point of view on current new ICT provided to farmers, their professional training programmes offered to clients and then to define education needs of farmers to enhance the adoption of new ICT agro-technologies. Results show that though there are many training programmes offered by suppliers through different forms, farmers still lack technical skills and ICT technologies knowledge for a better application of new ICT agro-technologies due to the complexity of the products. Therefore, the adoption of new technologies in agriculture is clearly linked to a better education in this field.
