Abstract

The aim of this research is to gain an insight into how the use of new technologies, the Internet, digitalization and online seminars are present in farmers, as well as how much that use helps them to carry out their agricultural operations more efficiently. 38 farmers from South Backa, aged 19-55 years, participated in this study. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire as a research technique, consisting of five parts, where the first part of the survey collected information on gender, age, land ownership, the second part contained questions on the use of social networks, the third part on the use of digital equipment and GPS (The Global Positioning System), the fourth part on the use of online seminar services and the last part of the survey provides farmers with feedback on how much the use of information technology actually facilitates the work of the agrarian. The data were processed using the SPSS software package. Based on the results obtained, a better understanding of farmers' computer literacy is gained and it provides an opportunity to develop a strategy for informing and training farmers about new technologies and their importance.
