“…With the support of their inclusive, spillover, and innovation effects [ 9 ], modern information technologies, such as the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, satellite remote sensing, and Beidou navigation, have been increasingly adopted in agricultural production. In addition, newer technologies and equipment, such as precision sowing, variable fertilization, intelligent irrigation, environmental control, and plant protection drones, have been widely implemented [ 10 ]. In 2021, China's digital countryside development level reached 39.1 %, with the informatization rate of agricultural production increasing to 25.4 %.…”

“…Agricultural digital technology refers to implementing information and communication technology through devices, networks, services, and applications to assist actors in the agricultural sector in decision-making and resource management (Abiri et al, 2023). According to reports from MercyCorps and Rabobank, 55 agricultural digital technologies are currently present in Indonesia, and most of them are still in the early stages of development (seed or early ventures).…”

Agriculture is one of the important sectors in the Indonesian economy. However, the agricultural sector also faces various challenges, such as climate change, limited land, and high production costs. One solution to overcome these challenges is to utilize digital technology. The transformation of agriculture towards smart farming is one effort to utilize digital technology in agriculture. The aim of this research is to analyze the role of digital technology in the transformation of agriculture towards smart farming. This study used qualitative research methods. The data collection technique in this research is a literature study with publication period criteria in the last 10 years, namely 2014-2024. The data obtained was then analyzed in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. Research results from 15 pieces of literature show that digital technology plays an important role in the transformation of agriculture towards smart farming. Digital technology can increase agricultural productivity, agricultural operational efficiency and the competitiveness of agricultural products. Digital technology can increase agricultural productivity by increasing the efficiency of agricultural inputs and increasing agricultural productivity. Meanwhile, the company's operational efficiency is through increasing the effectiveness of communication and supply chain management. Meanwhile, product competitiveness is carried out by improving product quality and increasing product added value.

Digital agriculture serves as a pivotal means of ushering in innovative agricultural practices and achieving sustainable agricultural development. Although agricultural digitalization has received increasing attention, the unbalanced development and regional disparities of digital agriculture are still key obstacles to sustainable agricultural development. Based on the data of 31 provinces in China from 2013 to 2021, this study evaluates the development level of digital agriculture in China, and further analyzes the distribution pattern, spatial characteristics, and transition probabilities of digital agriculture from a regional perspective. The index system of the digital agriculture development level is constructed from five aspects: infrastructure, talent resources, agricultural informatization, the digitization of agricultural production processes, and agricultural production efficiency. Among these, infrastructure and talent resources reflect the resources needed for the development of digital agriculture; agricultural informatization and the digitization of the agricultural production process indicate the role of digitization in the process of agricultural development; and the agricultural production efficiency is the goal of the digital agriculture development, which is a critical criteria of its evaluation. The weighted analysis method of objective sequential analysis, which combines the dynamic level of indicators and sequential relationships, is used to assign weights to the indicators. In addition, to address the regional disparities in the development level of digital agriculture, kernel density estimation, Moran’s index, and (spatial) Markov chain analysis are applied to analyze the spatial dynamic evolution of digital agriculture in China. The findings reveal substantial regional disparities in digital agriculture development within China, particularly in the Western region, where development lags behind. Moreover, this study offers actionable policy recommendations for policymakers to strengthen regional infrastructure and talent cultivation, as well as other aspects of digital agriculture development, to mitigate regional differences and provide reference for other emerging countries.
