The convergence of digitalization and sustainability: a new era for innovation in the agri-food sector

Digitalization and sustainability are at the heart of a profound transformation in the agri-food sector. The CoEDiTAg research project studies this co-evolution between the development trajectories of Digital Equipment and Technologies (EDiTs) and the greening of agricultural and agri-food structures and organizations. This article, which is the result of one of the CoEDiTAg project's areas of work and was published by Isabelle Piot-Lepetit (INRAE/CoEDiTAg co-leader), analyzes how digital technologies and sustainability principles are coming together to transform the sector's economic and organizational models.
