The transition to Digital Agriculture is a complex process, full of challenges and opportunities that require a multifaceted approach. This paper sought to analyze the main barriers and factors in adopting Digital Agriculture to build a scenario capable of shedding light on the nuances involved in this transformation in the agricultural sector.
The analysis of the barriers revealed that challenges related to the availability of economic and financial resources, coupled with the absence of infrastructure and technological expertise, are significant hurdles in the transition to Digital Agriculture. Within the realm of factors influencing technology adoption, the perception of usefulness, willingness to take risks and innovate, and ease of use of these technologies emerge as crucial determinants. These elements play a pivotal role in farmers' decisions to adopt new technologies, particularly in the context of Digital Agriculture.
