Background

This dissertation is about the infrastructural resilience of data-driven agriculture and requires a basic understanding of both the application scenario of agricultural practice and digital resilience as it is used in this work. Therefore, this chapter first provides a brief introduction to agriculture in Germany by referring to recent statistical investigations. Afterward, this chapter introduces terms, such as smart farming, precision farming, and farm management information systems (FMIS) and characterizes digital technologies in the field of resilient network approaches.
