Farming and agri-production system is in danger. The agriculture sector is continuously posing threats to life and living. Challenges have become a common phenomenon for sustainable agriculture. According to the SDG 2030 goals, to achieve ‘Zero Hunger’ status, the system demands a holistic and adaptive food ecosystem. Digitization will revolutionize the current food system, provided the farmers can adopt and apply it in their routine farming operations. In rural areas, digital literacy is crucial for using digital technology. Establishing and strengthening a ‘digital agriculture ecosystem’ requires suitable environment from grassroots innovations from the farmers’ perspective

Abstract


Farming and agri-production system is in danger. The agriculture sector is continuously posing threats to life and living. Challenges have become a common phenomenon for sustainable agriculture. According to the SDG 2030 goals, to achieve ‘Zero Hunger’ status, the system demands a holistic and adaptive food ecosystem. Digitization will revolutionize the current food system, provided the farmers can adopt and apply it in their routine farming operations. In rural areas, digital literacy is crucial for using digital technology. Establishing and strengthening a ‘digital agriculture ecosystem’ requires suitable environment from grassroots innovations from the farmers’ perspective
