This GRANULAR Knowledge Accelerator webinar will explore the critical role of cybersecurity in shaping the costs and benefits of digitalisation in agriculture. As the sector increasingly adopts digital tools and precision farming technologies, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and digital infrastructure has become essential.
While cybersecurity requires investments in secure systems, training, and ongoing maintenance, the risks of neglecting it—such as financial losses, operational disruptions, and data breaches—can be far more damaging. However, strong cybersecurity measures also bring significant benefits, including greater trust in digital solutions, enhanced efficiency, and improved supply chain resilience through secure data management and traceability.

Description
The discussion will address how farm size and resources impact cybersecurity adoption, with larger agribusinesses more readily integrating protective measures, while smaller farms may face financial and technical challenges. The webinar will also explore policy solutions and cooperative strategies to ensure that digitalisation remains accessible and secure for all agricultural stakeholders.
This interactive session will foster discussion and peer-to-peer learning, bringing together experts, policymakers, and agricultural professionals to share insights and explore solutions for a resilient and cyber-secure agricultural sector.
This webinar is organised within the framework of the CODECS Knowledge Accelerator, a network designed to enhance knowledge creation through various engaging activities.
