Abstract: Abstract Global issues like climate change, sustainability, inequality, and food poverty are driving significant changes in the agri-food industry. The paradigms of Agriculture and Industry 4.0, technology improvements, and changing consumer preferences, all call for a re-evaluation of management practices, internal collaboration, and customer relationships. These improvements have been hastened by the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the significance of sustainable agriculture systems. Prior research has emphasized the necessity for SMEs to use efficient administrative procedures to handle issues with competitiveness and marketing tactics that affect consumer purchasing decisions. There are many different activities, all of which adhere to the intergenerational fairness ideals and seek to use sustainable approaches. This chapter explores the managerial and marketing challenges in the agriculture sector, including market changes, customer preferences, environmental regulations, and product quality standards. It investigates resilience, flexibility, and transformation in the face of uncertainty. The role of marketing in adding value to agricultural products and the importance of effective communication methods are discussed. The chapter concludes by outlining future directions for managerial and marketing advancements in agribusiness.
