An FAO workshop on 19 November in Yerevan, Armenia, provided an opportunity for the country to kickstart its efforts towards developing a national e-agriculture strategy.

Nowadays, agriculture is much more than farming; it has become more and more integrated with other sectors, and this integration requires optimization through digitalization.

E-agriculture is the application of information and communication technologies to agriculture, including crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry. It includes more traditional technologies, such as radio, television, mobile phones, and newer digital technologies, such as drones, satellites, sensor technology, the Internet of things, and machine to machine communication.
