The Non-adoption of Digital Technologies in the Agricultural Industries: A Systematic Literature Review

Digital transformation (DT) entails radical and continuous organisational changes, including agricultural sector. Agricultural industries are in a phase of constant evolution in which traditional production techniques are becoming increasingly digitised. Recently, studies on DT and digital technologies in agricultural industries have increased. Studies focus only on the adoption of digital technologies and patterns of adoption. There is a lack of studies exploring the reasons for the non-adoption of digital technologies in agricultural industries. In this study, we present the result of a systematic literature review (SLR) that identifies the leading digital technologies and the factors to the non-adoption of digital technologies in agricultural industries. The main factors of non-adoptions are identified in technological organizational and environmental contexts. The article presents implications for research and practice.
