Abstract

Recent developments have resulted in significant changes in the agricultural sector. Technological innovations can provide a valuable asset for small farmers, so that the latter would be able to cope with the demands of the new environment. A number of digital technologies have brought significant innovations to the agricultural sector, offering a broad range of advantages. Typical examples can be found to smart farming and the fields that it opens up in relation to precision farming, the exploitation of the advantages of Big Data and cloud computing in agriculture, the Internet of Things, as well as the applications of robotics. There are various advantages, such as immediate response and adaptation to changes in weather conditions, minimization of water consumption, energy saving, etc. The integration of these technologies on the other hand, requires significant financial resources. These funding can be obtained through the contribution of organizations such as the EU, through funding programs in the form of grants. The new CAP imposes a number of additional requirements related to the protection of the environment and the reduction of resource consumption. In this regard, digital technologies are gaining a leading role as they can significantly facilitate compliance with the new specifications. Therefore, the investigation of whether the small farmers of Greece are familiar with them, have integrated them or plan to integrate them in their farms, but also the finding of possible inhibitory factors are some interesting issues to be investigated. The results of this research raised a number of issues which explain the limited penetration of technological innovations in the agricultural holdings of Greece, while they can form the basis for the development of relevant promotion and information campaigns.
