“…Въпреки потенциалните ползи обаче, възприемането на такива практики от фермерите е бавно и ограничено. Бариерите и ограниченията пред приемането на прецизното земеделие са разгледани от Da Silveira et al (2023), Sharma et al (2022), а Otieno (2023) вниква още по-дълбоко в тематиката и засяга темата за дигиталната сигурност при прилагането му. В България Zheleva and Delcheva (2023) анализират текущото състояние и последващото развитие на цифровизацията на земеделския сектор в България, докато Beluhova-Uzunova and Hristov (2020) констатират, че постепенното навлизане на прецизното земеделие в България е многостранно начинание, което изисква холистичен подход за справяне с опасенията около неговата рентабилност и ефективност.…”

The application of precision farming techniques leads to significant improvements both in economical and environmental point of view, facilitates the optimization of resource use and reduces farmers’ risks in terms of natural and disease hazards but enhances the risk from technological faults. The whole article is to explore the attitudes of farmers regarding the possibilities and prospects for the implementation of precision agriculture technologies, identifying and establishing the most possible and unifying views and perceptions obtained from a field study. In this article, a statistical grouping is used to process surveys conducted in farms in Bulgaria. Given the growing role of technology and its importance in expanding, improving and stabilizing farms, the role of precision agriculture is becoming stronger in the agriculture industry.

“…They believe that there is no need to make changes because they feel that the current farming techniques already provide benefits, 3) the limitations of the existence of technical factors in the application, including; inadequate equipment and no additional costs, were used to give raw feed instead of processed feed, 4) they were accustomed to waiting for another farmer to apply new technology, in which they ensure technical excellence. In this way, they avoid the risk of loss that must be borne because of the trial (Da Silveira et al 2023).…”

In general, small-scale farmers in rural areas often experience obstacles in implementing technological innovations offered by agricultural extension workers. Obstacles can come from within the individual breeder himself. The theory of small farmers and the theory of collective action is expected to solve the obstacles to implementing these technological innovations. This study aims to analyze and find solutions to the obstacles to implementing technological innovation at the individual level of small farmers in rural areas. Researchers took case study research with a research and development (RD) method approach to find the construction of a joint venture model. Qualitative methods are used in Focus Group Discussion (FGD) activities. At the same time, the quantitative descriptive research method is to evaluate the results of implementing the joint venture model. The population and the evaluation research sample were members of the Ampelsari Makmur Jaya farmer group in Pasuruan Regency and the La Tulip Farmer/Women Group in Lamongan Regency. The number of respondents for the perception evaluation was 68, determined as a total sample. Data was collected through participation techniques, in-depth interviews, FGDs and surveys. The evaluation perception was analyzed using descriptive analysis and Score T. The evaluation of respondents’ perceptions resulted in the farmers accepting the establishment of community-based business units (complete feed and pastured chicken business). The solution is also considered effective in solving the obstacles to applying technological innovation by rural and small-scale farmers in Indonesia.

“…In the case of AKIS actors and the transition to digital agriculture, sensing capacity refers to the capability to foresee the potential of digitalization, identify the opportunities that different technologies offer and evaluate their compatibility with different farming system paradigms (like agroecological production [49] or SFSCs [50]) and demands of farm work [51], understand the difficulties associated with technology adoption (referring to technical issues [52] and lack of skills [53]), estimate the risks that may follow the implementation of digital technologies at the farm level (e.g., economic risks [54], cyber security [55]) and beyond [11,56], and foresee future technology trajectories (Table 1). Seizing involves capturing the opportunities identified through sensing and navigating the threats of digitalization.…”

The digitalization of agriculture generates a new environment for the actors involved in agrifood production. In such a context, Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKISs) face the challenge of reconsidering their operational paradigms, redefining priorities, and designing strategies to achieve new aims. To do so, the actors participating in AKISs should develop and exploit a set of competencies known as dynamic capabilities, including the aptitude to sense the change in the external environment, the capacity to seize the opportunities that this change creates, and an ability to transform and adapt themselves to the new conditions that digitalization generates. In this study, using as examples the AKISs operating in Greece and Italy, we aimed to uncover if and how actors participating in these systems attempt and manage to deploy such capabilities. Based on a qualitative approach and drawing on data from two workshops, we discovered that seizing the opportunities sensed is a challenging task for AKIS actors. Our results also indicate that knowledge is a pivotal resource for AKISs, allowing actors to enhance their transformative capacity. However, to create a “collective” knowledge base, AKISs should ensure a functional connection between stakeholders and strengthen the roles of actors not actively engaged with the system, like public advisory organizations, universities, and technology providers.
