The aim of the considerations was to identify the challenges related to smart villages arising in the Polish and European legal systems. The expansion of the smart villages concept has become more apparent the new Common Agricultural Policy which provides for the development of different legal mechanisms which, put together, will help to create a smart village. The legal, but also social and economic challenges related to this proposal have been indicated and supported by examples of the implementation of innovative villages in selected European countries, taking into account the influence of globalisation and Europeanisation on the very concept of intelligent villages. Further to that, potential threats from the adopted solutions, as well as their impact on the competitiveness of agriculture have been highlighted. It has also been shown that intelligent villages constitute one of the transmitters of innovation in agriculture and digital rural development.

New technologies, artificial intelligence, or the digitalisation of the economy are challenging lawyers in terms of the functioning of the existing legal instruments as well as the creation of completely new ones. The challenges of the digitalisation era mainly concern labour law. Traditional work performed at the employer’s premises is still of great importance, while at the same time the legislator, if only in Poland, regulates new types of employment relationships, such as remote working. However, there is a problem, which is analysed in the article, of how these new legal mechanisms can be applied in various sectors of the economy. One example where this seems to pose difficulties is agriculture. Because some activities in traditional agriculture have to be done physically, the new legal mechanisms may prove ineffective. The article identifies contemporary challenges to labour and agricultural law that need to be implemented, due to technological advances. De lege ferenda postulates have been identified in relation to remote working in agriculture, precision farming, agriculture 4.0, or the Smart Village concept. At the same time, it is emphasised that the implementation of all these mechanisms and legal solutions will not be effective without adequate funding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
