On Thursday, October 20, 2022, the research team of the IoT-field project held the workshop "Smart technologies for sustainable agriculture" within the SST 2022 scientific meeting in Osijek.

Through the workshop, research results, developed technologies and solutions in the field of smart agriculture at the national level were presented, along with a discussion of current research topics in the field of precision agriculture based on data. The workshop was held in English.

Smart technologies for sustainable agriculture are already applied by agricultural producers, but they are not sufficiently connected with the professional, academic, research and business community in Croatia. The lectures demonstrated the significant research and educational potential of Croatia in the field of digital agriculture. In the discussion, the need to support digitization in agriculture with national measures of competent state bodies was expressed, which would connect private and public advisors, the scientific community and Croatian farmers.
