“…The key elements of the digital transformation for the success of initiatives that seek to combine IG and ESG in the agri-food sector are associated with the acquisition of authenticated digital data and metadata from smartphones and data accessibility via APIs. Two examples of Brazilian initiatives are presented in Romani et al (2020) and Bergier et al (2021). Both innovations rely on making public and private accesses of agri-food data and metadata via API, namely the AgroAPI platform, an initiative of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation and partners.…”

Value is routinely concentrated at the final links of food production chains as a consequence of market failures or asymmetries that distribute wealth unevenly in agri-food supply systems. Otherwise, for products with a geographic origin, the share can be more equitably distributed by adding environmental, sociocultural or technological values to products associated with sustainable models. Protecting a geographic indication (GI) of value-added products requires complex collective rules of sui generis systems, certified trademarks or business practices, including the approval of protocols or even unfair protection suitlaws. These rules are created on multilevel legislations gathering intrinsic cultural, historical and economic features. As a result, GI schemes are typically costly thus preventing access of general smallholders in product-valued chains. Digital technologies like mobile applications have a promising role in minimizing these limitations along food production chains, from pre-production to production and post-production. The pervasive spread of mobile devices with useful built-in sensors can be therefore a major consequence of the digital transformation in agriculture by means of intuitive applications combined with high-level technologies such as cloud/edge computing and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). In this article, we present a new perspective on the digital transformation of the agri-food sector that may fasten smallholders' inclusion and access in market ecosystems of value-added products with GI. Such perspective demands the understanding of stakeholders networks for customizing mobile applications for digital authentication of product GI. The approach can foster new compliance schemes as those embedded in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) market initiatives.

“…A variety of applications (apps and web systems) can be developed from the APIs available in AgroAPI, which provide decision support to farmers. The platform contributes to expanding the digital transformation in the field, strengthening the principles of Digital Agriculture (Romani et al, 2020).…”

“…Other studies investigated the different aspect in the application of digital technologies in agriculture in relation to the role of research and development (Romani et al, 2020), agribusiness management and stakeholder (Ebrahimi et al, 2021;Shogentsukova & Shogentsukov, 2020), infrastructure (Bernhardt et al, 2021), and social sustainability use of resources (Prause et al, 2021;Teucher et al, 2022). There is no gainsaying that agriculture is the backbones of most developing countries and adoption of digital technologies in the production and processing as well as through the value chain will enhance greatly food productivity (Sott et al, 2021).…”

Digital agriculture has been noted to have far reaching prospects in the transformation of agribusiness. Digital technologies are been applied to improve food production, processing, security and packaging. As most of the least developed and developing economies are strategizing to reduce poverty and hunger, digital agriculture presents opportunities to reverse the trends. Thus, this paper presents a systematic literature review with aim to collect all related research and identify gaps in digital agriculture, as well as to understand the benefits of digital technology in agriculture in other to chart new proposition for future studies. A systematic literature review was carried, and we have extracted 67 journals published within the last two decades (2002 -2022). Findings suggests that digital agriculture is important drivers of food sustainability, with improve production yield and increase household income. Also, 42% of the studies on digital agriculture are dominated by precision agriculture model. This SLR recognizes knowledge gaps in relation to the context, theory and content for future research.

“…Studies on the role of agricultural informatization are mainly reflected in the contribution of agricultural informatization to the agricultural economy [30], the integration of agricultural informatization and agricultural modernization [31,32], and the relationship between agricultural informatization and the rural economy [33,34]. Some scholars have studied the contribution of agricultural informatization to the agricultural economy and have put forward countermeasures and suggestions to improve the level of informatization [35,36].…”

With the continuous development of the world economy, science, and technology, the era of intelligence and information is upon us. Through the implementation of the digital rural construction project in China, agriculture is developing rapidly in the direction of informatization. As a major agricultural province in China, Shandong Province has been ranked first in China for many years in terms of gross agricultural product and the import and export of agricultural products. According to the current situation of agricultural informatization in Shandong Province, this study uses relevant evaluation index data of Shandong Province from 2011 to 2019 and applies the entropy value method, coupling degree analysis model, and coupling coordination degree analysis model to deeply evaluate the mutual influence and coordination degree between the agricultural informatization level and agricultural economic development in Shandong province in each year. We identify the possible problems in the development of agricultural informatization in Shandong province. Finally, in terms of talent construction, infrastructure construction, the main role of government, policies, and farmers’ awareness of informatization, we propose some countermeasures and suggestions that are conducive to the coordinated development of agricultural informatization and the agricultural economy.
