Agriculture has been changing fundamentally during the last 15 years, it is increasingly becoming a knowledge-intensive field of the global economy of the 21^st century. New phenomenon like smart farming, e-agriculture and Farming 4.0 indicate that cutting-edge technology, mobiles, smart devices, sensors and knowledge networks are more and more widely used for improving the productivity of the agricultural enterprises.
