How CAP boosts the digital transformation of rural areas

Описание: Through the Common Agricultural Policy, the EU is making rural areas and agriculture more competitive and sustainable. To promote the necessary investments in digital technologies, services and skills, each Member States’ CAP Strategic plans include a tailored digital strategy addressing the needs and the circumstances of each country. CAP plans aim to create the right environment for farmers and rural communities to take advantage of digital technologies. This means high-speed broadband infrastructure, IT equipment and uptake of digital tools and services. Digital tools and services can increase farmers’ productivity and income while providing a good level of living standards for rural communities.
Member States in their CAP plans explain how they will use the instruments of: Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), Digital Europe Programme, Horizon Europe Programme, the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) and European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for their digitalisation strategies in agriculture and rural areas. Member States can benefit from these in synergy with their national funds.
The digital transformation will help agriculture become greener, more resilient and more sustainable in line with the European Green Deal objectives.
