Abstract

Agribusiness is rapidly undergoing digital transformation, driven by technological advancements and the increasing urgency to address climate change. Digitalization offers agribusinesses tools to improve productivity, sustainability, and climate resilience. However, adopting digital technologies brings governance challenges, particularly regarding data security, equitable access, and environmental accountability. This paper explores how agribusiness governance is evolving in response to the intersection of digitalization and climate challenges. It investigates the role of policy frameworks, stakeholder collaboration, and emerging technologies in fostering responsible and inclusive agribusiness practices. The findings suggest that holistic governance approaches are essential for maximizing the benefits of digital agribusiness while mitigating the risks posed by climate change.

Conclusion

The digitalization of agribusiness offers immense potential for addressing the challenges of climate change. However, realizing this potential requires robust governance frameworks prioritizing data security, equitable access, and environmental sustainability. Policymakers must focus on creating inclusive and transparent regulations that empower all stakeholders, especially smallholder farmers, to participate in the digital transformation of agribusiness.
