Abstract

The digitization of the agricultural sector has accelerated the demand for secure and efficient identity management. This study presents an enhanced remote identification and authentication (KYC/SCA) system developed by ID&Trust Ltd., and explores its integration into agricultural workforce management. Through biometric verification, OCR, NFC-based data extraction, and real-time video identification, the system enables instant identity validation and compliance with EU data protection laws. New pilot results show a 70% reduction in administrative workload and enhanced traceability across seasonal labor processes. The paper contributes to the discussion on digital transformation in agriculture by demonstrating practical use cases, technical frameworks, and sustainability implications. In the broader context of European agricultural modernisation, such identity solutions support harmonised regulatory compliance across borders. The technology also enhances organisational resilience by reducing dependency on manual administrative procedures, thereby minimising human error and improving overall labour coordination. Moreover, as agriculture continues to digitize, remote identity verification becomes a central pillar for ensuring secure data exchange among stakeholders. The scalability of such systems allows broader adoption across EU member states, supporting unified digital standards and fostering long-term sustainability. Additionally, the findings underscore the scalability of such solutions across varying farm sizes. The technology also supports smoother integration with public administrative systems, further reducing bottlenecks.
