Digitalization & food security amidst the changing landscape of Asian agriculture.
Abstract
This paper considers the role of digital agriculture or precision agriculture in achieving food security. Some concerns for developing countries in Southeast Asia regarding digitalization or the use of such technologies are discussed. These concerns point to three factors: scientific know-how pertaining to digital technologies at the farm level; corporate farming, agri-tourism, and urban/peri-urban farming; and public acceptance of new technologies.
