Abstract: Background and Objective: The study explores the development of an agriculture-based smart village in Cibodas, West Java, which focuses on integrating agrotourism and sustainable practices. It highlights the importance of community participation and innovation infrastructure in fostering economic growth and environmental sustainability. The study proposes an innovative model for smart villages centered around agriculture. Materials and Methods: It explores key elements such as commodity selection, cultivation techniques and technologies, supply chains, and institutional frameworks. Insights were gathered from various agricultural stakeholders in Cibodas Village, West Java, utilizing a qualitative case study approach. Data collection involved observations, interviews, documentation, and audiovisual materials from January to May 2023. The analysis combined inductive and deductive methods, initially forming patterns and categories from abstract data units, then integrating data and facts to reinforce each theme. Results: The findings revealed that an agriculture-based intelligent village model enhances high-value commodities through digital transformation. This transformation incorporates Agricultural Technology 4.0, efficient supply chain management, and an institutional framework integrating farmers into a cohesive production and marketing platform. Such an approach not only enhances the agricultural production value chain but also addresses various village challenges sustainably.

It emphasizes community participation and innovation infrastructure for economic growth and environmental sustainability. The study contributes to the field by offering a sustainable smart village model that integrates agrotourism and digital transformation, though it is limited by its focus on a single village.
