## 2 Literature Review  
The emergence of digital agricultural technologies (DATs) over the recent decades has been documented in many review studies. Typical types of digital technologies that have been available for adoption by farmers include the Internet of Things (IoT), big data and analytics, cloud computing, autonomous robotic systems, artificial intelligence, remote sensing, and drone technology. The beneficial impacts of these technologies on farm productivity, economic gains, efficiency enhancement, environmental protection, and sustainability have been addressed by technical-oriented literature [3; 12; 13; 14]. For instance, small agricultural robots can improve weeding efficiency and work optimally with little interruption. By doing so, robots can reduce soil compaction and erosion [15]. Big data analytic techniques can be employed to assist farmers in the decision-making process, such as the application of irrigation water, fertilizer, and herbicides [16]. With the help of IoT-enabled systems combined with remote sensing, farmers can manage farms remotely, irrespective of place and time [17].

Despite the rapid growth and documented advantages of digital technologies, the adoption rate, particularly in developing countries, remains a challenge. It is increasingly understood that the adoption of digital agriculture is rooted in economic, political, and social relations, with a range of nontechnical issues being brought up [10; 20]. As a result, these concerns have prompted researchers to explore farmers' intentions of technology adoption from a systematic perspective. A literature review by [PERSON] et al. [9] examined how political and economic factors affect digital transformation in the agrofood system. They acknowledged that political-economy-related challenges such as data ownership and security could hinder the extent to which digitalization can support the interests of farmers. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [21] analyzed the underlying factors that influence the adoption of precision agricultural technologies by reviewing studies investigating the adoption in developed countries. Similarly, [PERSON] et al. [22] conducted a systematic review of precision agriculture adoption worldwide. However, both studies primarily focused on early-generation tools and did not consider emerging digital technologies. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [23] reviewed existing studies on the adoption of various digital agricultural technologies globally. They discussed possible reasons that hamper the adoption of digital technologies by farmers, yet the factors identified remained incomplete because a systematic review of studies was absent.
