Abstract: The digital revolution minimised the gap between agricultural operations and information and communication technology (ICT) in the previous decade. ICT is being used for information sharing, speeding up transactions, and improve farmer knowledge. Rational adoption of ICT in agriculture is the sense of research review. In this context, we propose a systematic literature review (SLR) that aims to synthesise all relevant research on ICT in agriculture. An electronic search was performed on selected databases, and 39 primary studies were retrieved after applying selection criteria. This review establishes a foundation for investigating the adoption of ICT by farmers for technological advancement and sustainability in agriculture. The analysis of primary studies reveals that mobile phones are frequently used to communicate agricultural information. Furthermore, it highlights that ICT adoption is obstructed by poor technological infrastructure, inadequate policies, and a lack of awareness among farmers. The findings also indicate the lack of an appropriate conceptual framework for driving ICT advancements.
