Abstract

Based on a comprehensive literature review, using descriptive and multivariable statistical analysis on primary data, this paper examines agricultural innovation in Vojvodina (Serbia), dominated by small-scale producers using semi-traditional production methods, outdated machinery, gaining experience and developing their skills through practical work rather than formal education. Our research findings reveal while farmers possess strong managerial and production-related skills, there is a significant gap in digital competencies. Structural barriers, including fragmented land holdings, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to funding, further hinder innovation uptake. One of our key findings is that despite awareness of the importance of innovations, implementation remains limited, highlighting the need to boost skills development, invest in infrastructure, and facilitate collaborative networks.
