Abstract

The objectives of the paper were to determine the basic information literacy of farmers and to identify farmers’ attitudes towards the application of information technology in agriculture. The survey was conducted in 2019 on a sample of 115 family farms in the Krapina-Zagorje County. The results show that most farmers estimate that they have relatively modest knowledge and skills for application of basic computer programs and using the Internet. On average, they rarely use computers for business purposes. However, most respondents generally have positive attitudes towards the application of information technology in agriculture.
