Broadband connectivity for farming and rural areas

The AIOTI WG06 on “smart farming and food security” has recently issued a short report on “broadband requirements for farming and rural uses”. Feedback has been collected from different actors on examples and use cases of IoT/ICT associated to farming and the rural economy that are demanding or will presumably demand broadband connectivity. The report summarises the inputs collected from voluntary contributions from different actors ranging from farmers and cooperatives to smart farming technology providers and telco operators, and has been shared with the DG Connect B5 unit (broadband) to help in the definition of the EU ambition for broadband connectivity.
