Digital and artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies are increasingly integrated into agri-food systems, reshaping production processes, decision-making, resource management, logistics, and governance structures. Recent research highlights the growing importance of data flows and digital infrastructures across agricultural value chains as well as the adoption of emerging technologies such as autonomous systems (e.g., Besieda et al., 2026; Halberstadt et al., 2022; Uehleke et al., 2024).
