Abstract:
This research paper proposes a digitalization framework based on Society 5.0 principles
for promoting resilient and sustainable agricultural value chains in the context of climate
change. Climate change is affecting the productivity and sustainability of agricultural
systems and threatening food security in many parts of the world. Digitalization has the
potential to enhance the resilience of agricultural value chains to climate change by improving
efficiency, promoting sustainability, and reducing vulnerability to climate risks.
This study reviews the literature to investigate the potential benefits and challenges of
Society 5.0-inspired digitalization for agricultural value chains in the context of resilience
and sustainability. Further, this study establishes critical design requirements for digitalization,
which inform the development of a theoretical framework for Society 5.0-inspired
digitalization framework in realizing resilient and sustainable agricultural value chains.
