Digital Innovations in Agrifood Systems to Achieve the SDGs and Society 5.0

Digital innovation significantly contributes to the transformation of agrifood systems, aiming to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the realization of the Society 5.0 vision. The agriculture sector is currently witnessing significant breakthroughs due to the utilization of many technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), robots, data analytics, mobile apps, blockchain technology, and digital twins. These innovations not only help in productivity enhancement, efficiency, and sustainability but also address societal challenges. These digital innovations contribute to achieving the SDGs by improving food security, reducing poverty, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering inclusive economic growth. Furthermore, these innovations in agrifood systems support the transition toward Society 5.0, in which humans and advanced technologies cooperate for sustainable development. This transition enables precision agriculture, autonomous farming, smart logistics, and intelligent distribution systems, creating more efficient and resilient agrifood systems.
