Abstract: Agricultural mechanisation is crucial for achieving Sustainable Development Goals by increasing productivity, food quality, resource efficiency, and climate change mitigation. However, the current uptake suggests significant disparities in mechanisation adoption among smallholder farmers across developing countries. Recognising the importance of agricultural mechanisation for SDGs, scholars have identified factors influencing the farm, local, and regional adoption rates and the need to improve sustainable mechanisation. Nevertheless, a critical gap remains in understanding the dynamic interplay between current and future mechanisation pathways, rapid technological advancements, and evolving socioeconomic and agroecological factors. Clarifying supply and demand dynamics for sustainable agricultural mechanisation is crucial for agri-food value chains.
