A new report from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), “The state of digitalisation in EU agriculture: Insights from farm surveys”, has been published, offering insight into how technology is changing European farming.

The study shows an encouraging picture. Among farmers surveyed, 93% reported using at least one IT or software tool, with 79% deploying at least one crop-specific technology and 83% using at least one livestock-specific tool. Farmers are also mostly optimistic about the impact of digitalisation: 76% expect it will lead to economic benefits, 72% foresee environmental gains, and 67% anticipate positive social outcomes.

To support policymakers, managers and researchers, the study is accompanied by an interactive dashboard. This tool visualizes the data and highlights key trends, making it easier to identify where action is most needed.

Despite the progress, the report stresses that significant untapped potential remains. Improved data digitalization and interoperability are seen as vital for reducing administrative burdens for the benefit of farmers and agricultural workers.
