Abstract

Innovations and the application of information and communication technologies have a driving role in the efficient development of smart agriculture. The application of new information and communication technologies and the digitization of the agricultural sector represent a great potential for improving rural development through increasing profitability, productivity, sustainability and competitivity. Modern communication approaches and technologies, from artificial intelligence and robotics to the Internet of Things (IoT), enable significant support and assistance to agricultural holdings and businesses. The results of the research in the paper indicate the possibilities of encouraging rural development based on the use of information and communication technologies through reducing the digital divide, solving existing challenges in terms of creating reliable access to modern communication technologies, strengthening resources for the application of technologies, encouraging awareness, developing skills and training human resources in rural areas.
