  Latest and current innovations of agricultural tech industry are increasingly
driven by digital technologies. These digital farming solutions provide
attractive advantages for farmers. The trend is going to devices and sensors,
which send the acquired data directly to the cloud. Also the number of
scientific publications on cloud based solutions follows this development.
Considering on the other hand the necessity of continuous agricultural
production in any kind of crises, new cloud-based digital systems and
applications need to be reliable, independent of internet supply. In this
conceptual study the necessary resilience is defined, which is marginally taken
into account by agtech industry innovations. Problems of development using
web-based farming systems are identified and discussed. For digital farming
systems the farmers individual needs of resilience are classified into five
levels. Consequently, suggestions for soft- and hardware equipment are made.
This includes the installation of a farm server, a local farm network, offline
applications and consideration of edge computing, which can ensure a high level
of resilience of new digital farming components.
