“…The issues highlighted by Oliver et al [19] underscore the vulnerability of global and European food systems, as well as the urgent need to strengthen their resilience [20]. Natural crises and factors of economic and social instability can severely disrupt the functioning of the food system [21].…”

The digital revolution is reshaping various aspects of society, including having a profound impact on food security and the advancement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study investigates the relationship between digital transformation, quantified through the components of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), and SDGs related to food (SDG1, SDG2, SDG3, and SDG10), along with the overall SDG Index score. The data used for investigation are sourced from reports issued by the European Commission concerning DESI, as well as the SDG reports for the period from 2017 to 2022. The paper elucidates how different components of digitalization, such as connectivity, digital skills, internet usage, and digital public services, influence the attainment of food security objectives and broader sustainable development targets using structural equation modeling and cluster analysis. The findings underscore the pivotal role of digital technologies in enhancing poverty alleviation, health and well-being, and, in particular, mitigating inequality. This study contributes to understanding the complex relationship between digital transformation and food security, offering insights for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders aiming to leverage technology for advancing SDGs and fostering a more equitable and sustainable future.

“…Furthermore, promoting crop yields and sustainable intensification through balanced fertilizer use were adopted in a vulnerable saline region in Bangladesh [8]. Food system diversification, technological innovations and naturebased practices, and traditional and indigenous knowledge operationalized across the food system components have the potential for sustaining smallholder resilience in the face of natural hazards [9].…”

Tidal Rice Yield Assessment in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, under Different Cultural Practices

et al. 2022

This research aimed to assess the performance of a technology package in relation to rice yield in a B-type tidal rice field in Central Kalimantan province (Indonesia). We selected four areas with different hydrological conditions, soil characteristics, and farmer management systems in Pulangpisau and Kapuas Regency. The introduced technology package covered water management, soil tillage, amelioration and fertilization, adaptive high-yielding varieties, and crop protection. The results showed that, on average, the rice yield of Terusan Karya was 5.52 t ha−1, followed by Belanti B (3.75 t ha−1), Belanti A (3.61 t ha−1), and Talio Hulu (3.27 t ha−1). Rice varieties that yielded more than 5 t ha−1 were Inpara 8 (6.28 t ha−1), Suppadi 89 (5.54 t ha−1), Inpara 3 (5.46 t ha−1), and Inpara 2 (5.36 t ha−1). The implementation of a site-specific technology package combined with intensive guidance for the farmer on its implementation is the key factor in increasing rice productivity in tidal rice farming.

“…In Oliver's view, enhancing the resilience of the food system is an urgent challenge [20]. The prevalence and severity of natural hazards represent a significant peril to food systems, which undermines their function to provide food security and improved nutrition [21]. Worldwide shocks can adversely affect international supply chains, while insecure working conditions in the food system erode the resilience of the entire system [22].…”

This study explores the impact of the digital economy on the resilience of the food system, employing data from 190 towns in China and a difference-in-differences (DID) model. The results indicate that, between 2011 and 2020, the progress of the digital economy was instrumental in driving continuous improvements in the food system’s resilience in China. This conclusion stands firm after accounting for endogenous issues and conducting comprehensive robustness tests. According to a mechanism test, the digital economy can impact the resilience of the food system through three avenues: digital technology, digital finance, and human capital. Further research indicates that the influence of the digital economy on the resilience of the food system varies across regions and different food functional zones. These findings offer fresh insights and empirical evidence into the linkages between the digital economy and food system resilience. Such insights may bolster the food system’s resilience in developing countries and promote sustainable food development.
