Abstract

With the advent of the digital era in the middle of the 20th century and the German government's introduction of Industry 4.0 in 2011, conventional industries shifted into an economy built on massive Internet and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The ICTs such as big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile devices, artificial intelligence, 5G network, etc., are not only being used in a variety of businesses but also by an increasing number of people globally. There is no doubt that the use of digital technology in a variety of sectors has effectively increased productivity and decreased costs. Digital agriculture is one of the logical conclusions of Industry 4.0 growth. However, implementing ICT in agriculture may be severely hampered by the risks associated with digital agriculture. One of the main obstacles is unclear Digital Agricultural Education (DAE), a market gap formed by the explosive rise of digital agriculture but with little research. In this exploratory study, we used content analysis as a research methodology, aimed to comprehend Hungary's efforts in digital agriculture education and investigate the challenges by presenting practical examples.
