Digitalisation in Austrian Agriculture. An Overview on Current Evidence and Challenges

Franz Sinabell

WIFO Reports on Austria, 2025, issue 11

Abstract: In EU agricultural policy, digitalisation is seen as an important vehicle for increasing innovation and productivity in agriculture. While the international literature allows conclusions to be drawn about the extent to which digital technologies are used in the economy as a whole and in the agricultural sector in particular, there are comparatively few relevant studies on Austrian agriculture. This article presents the results of two empirical surveys that provide an overview of the spread of digital methods and technologies in Austrian agriculture and analyse the advantages and obstacles to their use. In view of the importance of digitalisation for productivity and environmental protection, more attention should be paid to ongoing monitoring.
