Abstract
The digitalization is changing and reshaping agricultural sector and is based on new technologies that improve efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. Different digital tools allow monitoring the fields in real time and support management of pest and deceases, irrigation, fertilizer application, crops protection. The digital solutions help farmers to reduce input, achieve higher yields, and limit ecological impact based on decreased chemical and water application.
The purpose of this paper is to review current applications of digital tools in agriculture and to evaluate their impact on farm management and sector-level performance. The evidence shows that digitalization carries strong potential, yet important limitations remain. Many solutions are still highly specialized, expensive, and not easily implemented to wider commercial use. Some technologies are at an early stage of development, raising questions about their reliability and possibilities for their practical use. These challenges restrict adoption, especially among small and medium-sized holding, because they often lack the financial resources and capacity to invest in digitalization.
In can be concluded that digitalization provides a new promising direction for more efficient and climate-smart agriculture. However, stronger investment, better policy environment and support, and more effective knowledge transfer are needed. This will allow digital innovations to become accessible to all types of farms.
