Towards a common understanding of digital transformation in agriculture

This article presents a literature-based approach to delimitate the topic of ‘digital trans- formation in agriculture’. We elaborate a Scopus search string and find six clusters that form and describe this new field of research. Most prominent topic clusters are remote sensing, geographic information systems, internet-of-things and image processing, with the last two being most topical. Social science topics seem to be underrepresented or to have not yet established a direct link in this new research area via key terms. Further, European publications reflect the full range of worldwide research, although there is a slightly stronger focus on environmental issues.     «
