Technology Application in Social Funding for Agriculture: A Compressive Structured Review

Abstract

The incorporation of technology holds enormous potential to revolutionize farming techniques and enhance overall production in the continually changing field of agriculture. This comprehensive structured review delves into the realm of “Technology Application in Agriculture Funding,” with the goal of shedding light on the present situation, challenges, and opportunities in leveraging technology for agricultural financing. The objective of this review is to critically assess the current state, challenges, and opportunities in applying technology to agricultural funding. This study used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) approach by analysing a comprehensive selection using advanced searching approached on Scopus and Web of Science database. It was found that final primary data (n = 27) was analysed employing keywords such as funding, agricultural financing, waqf, agriculture, technology, and digital. Expect validation is divided into four themes: agricultural business and reorganisation, technology adoption and evaluation, policy and subsidies, and climate and environmental factors. The expected results anticipate uncovering innovative funding mechanisms, identifying successful technology applications, and outlining potential areas for improvement. In conclusion, the review aims to offer valuable insights, guiding policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders towards effective and sustainable technology-driven solutions in agriculture funding.
