“…By leveraging IoT technologies, Colombian fruit farmers can optimize resource management, conserve water through precise irrigation techniques, and minimize the use of agrochemicals (Ziesche et al, 2023). Additionally, IoT-enabled systems can improve traceability and transparency in the supply chain, ensuring the delivery of safe and high-quality fruits to consumers (De la Peña & Granados, 2023). The aim of this article was to conduct a systematic literature review to assess the impact of emerging technologies on sustainable fruit production, identifying and describing the current status of sustainable fruit production as well as the challenges and opportunities presented by the incorporation of emerging technologies.…”

Agriculture 4.0 refers to innovations in technological tools used in agriculture to achieve different objectives, such as adapting the supply chain to avoid waste, increasing productivity and collecting mass data through ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to meet the growing food demand of the population. The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic literature review to evaluate the impact of emerging technologies on sustainable fruit production. Initially, a bibliographic search was conducted on the technologies currently implemented in agriculture; the Bibliometrix library of the R Studio software was used, and then an analysis of relevant scientific publications published in the last ten years was carried out through the VOSviewer® software, which allowed the construction and visualization of bibliometric networks. The results show Europe and China as the leading regions in technological development, while developing countries face economic and research limitations; in Colombia, the use of Agriculture 4.0 is focused on the implementation of satellite images for monitoring agro-climatic conditions. In summary, Agriculture 4.0 aims to achieve economic, social, and environmental sustainability in the agri-food sector through data-generating technologies to improve production, reduce costs, and ensure food safety and quality. However, there is a technology gap between developed and developing countries that affects the adoption of these innovations. More support is therefore needed from governments, academia, and the private sector to drive innovation, training, and adoption of these technologies, which can contribute to the economic, social, and environmental development of the country.

The concept of well-being of rural families is part of a theory under construction in which new theoretical elements are constantly being incorporated. This research aims to determine the influence of farmers’ knowledge on the well‑being of cocoa growing families in the departments of Santander, Huila, Meta and Caquetá, Colombia. Four categories of farmers were identified with different levels of knowledge in the management of cocoa cultivation obtained through a cluster analysis. The well-being of cocoa farmers, understood as the balance in the capital endowment of rural households, was obtained through the application of a semi-structured interview with 49 variables of human, cultural, social, political, natural, built, and financial capitals. The results show that cocoa knowledge is heterogeneous in the study area, with a slight improvement towards harvesting, post-harvest and transformation links. There is a positive relationship between cocoa knowledge and the well-being of cocoa farming families. Thus, producers with greater integral knowledge, with emphasis on post-harvest and bean transformation links, showed greater well-being. The Random Forest analysis identified that human capital (political, social, human, and cultural) made the greatest contribution to well-being. The findings show that cocoa knowledge contributes to the well-being of rural households to the extent that it favors vertical relationships (linkages with local governments) and horizontal relationships of producers (participation of association managers, sharing knowledge with friends, neighbors and partners, and cocoa training).
