The role of advisory services on the uptake of SmartFarming technologies on farm level (powered by SmartAgriHubs)

Following today's agricultural debate someone could conclude there is no more recent topic than digitization. Expectations arising from EU strategies suggest that there's a huge potential in gaining ecological but also economic and social benefits for farmers and rural societies.
Advisory services are said to play a key role in fostering the uptake of digital technologies. Nevertheless when getting to the farm level barriers like doubtful economic assessment, complexity of various types of technologies or missing technical or educational framework occur.
In this workshop participants shall discuss their experiences on how to integrate Smart Farming technologies into their advisory services and learn about possible ways to enable a fruitful technology transfer. Furthermore the speakers explain SmartAgriHubs initative and discuss the role of Digital Innovation Hubs.
