Why does research and innovation on farming and rural digital transformation rely?
Digital technology have the potential to revolutionise
agriculture by means of helping farmers paintings more exactly, correctly and
sustainably.
Data-driven insights can progress decision-making and
practices and help growth environmental performance whilst making farming jobs
more appealing to younger generations.
Digital technologies additionally have the capability to
offer purchasers more transparency as to how their meals is produced. They
provide possibilities to renew commercial enterprise fashions in value chains
by connecting manufacturers and consumers in innovative methods.
Beyond farming, digital technology are key for making rural
communities greater appealing, clever and sustainable as well as for lowering
problems related to remoteness and improving get entry to to services.
Research and innovation is vitally imperative to facilitate
and accelerate virtual transformation in agriculture and rural regions for the
gain of European residents and organizations.
The EU has been lively in recent years undertaking research
and innovation sports laying the ground for digitalised and
statistics-empowered European agriculture and rural areas.

Abstract
Digital technologies are regularly seen as an opportunity to
enable bearable futures in agriculture and rural areas. However, this virtual
transformation system isn't always inherently appropriate because it impacts on
many aspects (e.G. Monetary, environmental, social, high-tech, institutional)
and their relations. The in control research and innovation approach calls for
a better understanding and anticipation of the frequently unknown affects. To
meet this purpose we've got developed a framework that lets in to advantage
perception on the members of the family between the social, the cyber and the
physical, i.E. A socio-cyber-bodily gadget and have described situations for a
a hit virtual transformation of any such gadget. These are layout of, and
growing get admission to to virtual technologies, and navigating system
complexity. This framework permits for a better problematisation of digital
transformation and has been illustrated thru an instance of digital dairy
farming. It helps an improved understanding of ethical responsibilities concerning
digital transformation, fitting inside the responsible research and innovation
approach, in addition to a higher knowledge who's responsible or chargeable for
the diagnosed (fantastic or poor) influences, i.E. Responsibilisation.
Feature papers constitute the maximum superior studies with
substantial ability for high effect in the field. A Feature Paper must be a
extensive unique Article that entails several strategies or techniques,
provides an outlook for future research instructions and describes viable
research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or
advice by means of the scientific editors and have to receive fine remarks from
the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are primarily based on guidelines
by the clinical editors of MDPI journals from round the sector. Editors pick a
small number of articles lately posted inside the magazine that they believe
will be mainly thrilling to readers, or essential in the respective studies
place. The goal is to offer a image of a number of the most exciting work
published in the various studies areas of the journal.

Digital transformation of agriculture and rural areas has
been a assignment during the last many years. Indeed, recent improvements and
implementations of statistics and communique technology in agriculture provide
a completely unique opportunity for the modernization of the rural commercial
enterprise area. The blessings may encompass improvements in the management of
the cost chain, ease of having access to governmental and trade offerings,
extra green utilization of resources, extra precision inside the usage of
agrochemicals, saving time and fees. The beneficiaries regard, farmers who can
improve their merchandise, income and satisfactory of existence, processing and
retailing organizations who alternate agricultural merchandise, consumers who
could experience safe in the pleasant of the goods, governments via enhancing
the performance of their offerings. Moreover, the prudent use of resources and
the limited emission of pollution is of high interest because of climate
exchange. Additionally, new technology can transform rural areas to appealing,
clever and sustainable ones, and invert problems related to remoteness.
