Abstract: Abstract In low and middle-income countries (LMICs), food insecurity and poor agricultural output are caused by the limited adoption of modern technologies. Emerging digital technologies have recently been promoted as tools to make agribusinesses smarter and more sustainable. However, the real challenge in agricultural and food systems appears to fill the “innovation gap” by boosting farmers’ capacity to successfully access and adopt these technologies. Simultaneously, there is still a gap in understanding the factors determining technology adoption in agriculture in these countries. Accordingly, this chapter aims to discuss the key factors affecting the acceptance and adoption of emerging digital technologies by agribusinesses in LMICs, highlight good practices, and make recommendations. It combines bibliographical and topical analyses of the literature and includes case studies from various LMICs.
