Abstract

     This research aimed to evaluate the impact smart farmer's card service on the sustainability of rural development in Assuit governorate, Egypt. The obtained data showed a low availability degree of smart farmer's card services. The most available services were obtaining loans, seeds and chemical fertilizers at the right time. The low degree of respondents' benefit and satisfaction with the services of the smart farmer's card system was due to several challenges. The main obstacles were the low number of guides, the weak capability of the agricultural associations, high rate of electronic illiteracy and large number of computer malfunctions. The most important variables that affected the degree of farmers benefited from the services were the area of the agricultural holding, the degree of knowledge of the services and the degree of service availability. Regarding the variables that affected the degree of farmers' satisfaction with the services of the farmer's card, they were represented in the age of the respondents, the area of agricultural holding, the degree of availability of this card's services and the degree of benefit from the services of the farmer's card. This research suggests certain recommendations, including providing the infrastructure that supports the application of electronic tenure by providing the appropriate place and well-trained human resources efficient in managing this technology and communications. Also, providing technological facilities such as computers and internet access that enable the agricultural extension specialists to conduct their work.
