Abstract

ICT, digital and smart tools are an integral part of a competitive agriculture in the 21st century. The world's population is growing, which also means that demand for food will increase, so there is a need to increase agricultural productivity (increasing output/input factor efficiency), for which technological innovation is essential. An important aspect is that some factors of production in agriculture are limited (land, water, etc.), so a fundamental issue for farmers in agriculture is how to carry out their agricultural activities in a sustainable and cost-effective way. Innovative and modern solutions are needed to increase productivity in agriculture in a sustainable way. Digitalisation, of which data and the information derived from data are an integral part, is the basis for these innovative solutions. Technological progress and digitalisation are making a major contribution to the emergence of sustainable agriculture. The aim of the present study is to briefly describe the development and milestones of agriculture, based on a literature review, and to highlight the importance of agricultural digitisation, especially from the perspective of sustainable agriculture.
