Abstract

This article aimed to identify requirements for agricultural extension work toward enhancing digital and climate-smart farming techniques and practices. The random sample represented 220 respondents from extension workers, and the most important results were as follows: 87.8% of respondents had trained in digital and climate-smart agriculture between low and medium, and only 5% had high knowledge of digital agriculture techniques. At the same time, 53.2% of them believe that studied climate-smart agricultural practices are available in extension work to a moderate degree, represented in water and irrigation practices 29%, smart practices related to environmental adaptation systems and agricultural resource recycling 23.3%, production systems practices. Sustainable management 18.3%, smart practices for plant production 15%, and smart practices for animal and fish production 14.4%. Only three independent variables contributed significantly to explaining the total variance in the respondents' knowledge of smart agriculture techniques, namely, the degree of use of electronic devices in extension work 10.3%, training in the field of smart agriculture 3.9%, and the degree of use of electronic applications in extension work 1.8%. Variables together explain 16% of the total variance.
