The digital transition in agriculture and rural areas is complex and context-specific. It requires tailored solutions that consider local needs, resources, and challenges. This toolkit helps policy-makers reflect on the implications of digital transition for farmers and rural communities through structured conversations. It draws on insights of the report Digital Transition: Long –term Implications for EU Farmers and Rural Communities.
