MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Digital transformation in the agriculture sector as a means of meeting the EU’s climate objectives – E-000134/2025

Question for written answer  E-000134/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Dimitris Tsiodras (PPE)

The digitalisation of the agriculture sector in Europe and its modernisation with cutting-edge technologies have significant potential to reduce the environmental footprint of agriculture and achieve the EU’s climate objectives, as well as to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of the agriculture sector. However, the implementation of such projects is hampered by implementation costs – especially for small-scale farmers – the lack of resources and skills and imperfect interoperability between different systems.

In view of the above:

• 1.How does the Commission plan to help address these challenges, with a focus on small-scale farmers?
• 2.Is it considering drawing on best practices and encouraging their adoption in order to boost productivity and make agricultural production and the agriculture sector in general more sustainable?
