Mitigating Food Insecurity and the Impacts of Climate Change With Sustainable Digital Agriculture

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT With increasing climate shocks and food insecurity, innovative approaches to agriculture have become even more significant. In this review, we examine the potential of sustainable digital agriculture in addressing some of the challenges in agriculture and food systems. We investigate how innovative technologies in digital agriculture enable a dual pathway to sustainability: first, by increasing productivity through precision technologies and resource management, and second, by mitigating sensitivity to climate impacts via predictive analytics and enhanced resilience. Based on an analysis of 112 articles, we highlight how digital technologies, such as sensors, drones, and satellite imagery, among others, can optimize farming practices. Finally, we acknowledge and discuss some of the adoption barriers that present themselves in the current landscape of sustainable digital agriculture.
