Member states are quite active as well

The Member States are also taking actions to achieve a sustainable digital transformation in agriculture. Many of initiatives that have been taken are not necessarily directly related to the declaration of cooperation, but are heading in the same direction. The digital transformation of the agricultural sector will play a key role in achieving the objectives set out in the European Green Deal. The examples in the graphic identify some of these initiatives, but there are actually many more.

In December 2020, a conference on the "Digital Transformation of the Agricultural Value Chain" was organised under the German Council Presidency, demonstrating the commitment of the Member States to this subject.
