Abstract: Abstract By 2050 it is estimated that the world will need 70% more food production. SDG number 2 agenda is to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. On the other hand, SDG number 12 aims to ensure the good use of resources, improve energy efficiency, and sustainable infrastructure, and providing access to basic services, green and decent jobs, and ensure a better quality of life for all. Unsustainable patterns of consumption and production are the root cause of climate change. The challenges of agriculture in the future are related to demography, scarcity of natural resources, climate change, and food waste which further exacerbate the problem of hunger and food scarcity. A disruptive system that involves the efforts of several actors, namely the government, investors, and innovative agricultural technology is needed. In this case, the diffusion of innovation becomes very important. despite the smartphone technology adoption in Indonesia already reach the Late Majority, however, the relevant studies show that the digital literacy of small-holder farmers and SMEs in the food industry is still low when it comes to the utilization of smart technology to optimize the operations to ensure the implementation of sustainable production and consumption to tackle climate change.
