<< Background >>There is a common agreement among the agricultural society that feeding an extra two billion people by 2050 will require solutions relying heavily on innovative use of information and communication technologies (ICT). A commonly used term for the use of technological advances in the agriculture is “Agriculture 4.0” – sometimes considered to be the fourth agricultural revolution. Similar terms often used for this concept of ´Agriculture 4.0´ are ‘Smart Agriculture’, ‘Digital Farming’ or ´Digital Agriculture´, ICT4AG, ´Precision Agriculture´, ´Smart Farming´. The European Commission’s Digital Transformation Monitor (EC-DTM) concludes that ´Agriculture 4.0´ represents a process that will have a revolutionary effect on all of agriculture and even the global economy. Agriculture 4.0 is one of the lines of action set out in the Declaration and Action Plan of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Implementation of Smart ICT technologies is basically the way to strengthen the green economy: the low carbon industry, renewable energy resources, climate changes and handling the waste water.Project “Future IT for farms” (ITFARM) promotes the idea that the Fourth Industrial Revolution has the power to change things across a broad spectrum of the society and schools and other executives need to be ready.<< Objectives >>ITFARM promotes the idea that the Fourth Industrial Revolution has the power to change things across a broad spectrum of the society: It is here and now, and schools and other executives need to be ready. The old way of doing things is not enough anymore, and education (for both young and adult) will be the first embracing all facets of ´Industry 4.0´ and all the opportunities it will bring.Providing education for family farm entrepreneurship based on integrated digitization of business production processes following challenges of the ´Agriculture 4.0´ revolution is an opportunity of a great benefit. These are opportunities addressing the goal of the ITFARM project:Develop and provide education for family farm entrepreneurship based on integrated digitization of business processes following challenges of 2nd ICT revolution, in case of agriculture of ´Agriculture 4.0´ technologies. Analyse entrepreneurial activities of the family farms and evaluate the curriculum content from the point of view of motivation and mediation of the entrepreneurial skills of owners, managers and employees who mostly need adult/vocational tailor-made education.Development of study materials and teaching tool-kits tailor-made for family farms owners and employees to familiarize farmers with the newest technologies. Help farmers to transform their production activities to new standards based on implementation of the 2nd ICT revolution. Support of VET teachers focused to education of future employees and owners of family farms and to seeking talents. The project will strengthen the green components in existing VET education programs.Information for decision makers and other relevant stakeholders, who will participate directly and indirectly in the transformation of the production process of the family farms.The project’s aim is also to harmonize the needs of all involved targets and bring effective solutions that can help them to be more prepared and open to each other.<< Implementation >>The project is based on previous research provided by using a mix of quantitative and qualitative surveys at the involved universities and practical experience in teaching a training of adults. All partners were/are involved in EU projects with impacts to innovations. The project does not aspire to be scientific, but its primary aim is to make science available to farmers so that they can understand it and be able to respond to the innovative demands of the digital society. Universities will prepare the methodology and study materials; other partners will adapt results to national/regional needs. The consortium will ensure the wide dissemination of relevant materials among users. The project starts with the research survey (carried out by questioning) among farmers, SMEs, manufactures and distributors of relevant ICT technologies in order to identify the current state of ´Agriculture 4.0´ application levels, the knowledge competencies and requirements of farmers, the social, economic and environmental conditions in which the target groups live and do business.Based on the survey, ITFARM develops study materials and provide courses, tailor-made for family farms owners, managers and employees, to involve the newest ICT technologies and the concepts into daily farm practices. Pilot testing of the study portfolio and study courses in the test beds will give information to reflect on and re-engage developed study materials.<< Results >>The study portfolio consists of curriculum and pedagogical guide, syllabi, study modules developed in the form of study units, study supports and tool kits, cases, exercises, hand-outs. The website will offer farmers a comparison of the different technologies offered by technology equipment suppliers on the market.The project results will be available and accessible for free on the e-learning portal Moodle and the project websites where will be possible to either to use them online and/or download. All developed study materials and courses will be fully available VET teachers and interested bodies. Support of VET teachers will be focused to education of future employees and owners of family farms and to seeking talents.In addition to economic effects, the implications of ´Agriculture 4.0´ can be much further impacting social and environmental issues in the farming industry, life in regions and in the society in general.ITFARM will speak the language of farmers, SMEs and is user-friendly for them.
