Abstract

The emergence of Agriculture 4.0 has revolutionized the agri-food system, introducing technologies like AI, IoT, drones, and digital twins that reshape traditional practices and offer new opportunities to address food crises driven by climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity. The adoption of these technologies has gained global interest, and concepts like “drivers” have been used to explain the forces behind this transformation. However, studies on these drivers and their interrelationships remain scarce, highlighting a gap in understanding the factors influencing the adoption of Agriculture 4.0.
