Digital Agriculture Tournament is an innovative initiative designed for high school students and implemented as part of the European Agricultural Forum. The main objective of the tournament is to popularize knowledge about Agriculture 4.0 and inspire young people to explore modern technologies used in the agricultural sector. The organizers aim to ensure that future professionals in the agricultural industry are not only prepared for contemporary challenges but also actively engaged in solving them, contributing to the further development and innovation of Polish agriculture. The belief that a competitive and modern agricultural economy begins with solid education is the foundation of this initiative.
