## 1 Introduction
### Agricultural Sector  
The emergence of industry 4.0 technologies has contributed tremendously to the agricultural sector's transformation in recent times. Digital technologies, such as AI, IoT, blockchain, drone technology, and cloud data solutions, among others, have been used to transform the agriculture sector and support sustainable development in Nigeria. For instance, the BeatDrone firm uses drone technology to monitor and eliminate the death of crops, map farmlands, and collect essential agrodata. The drone technology sprays herbicides and pesticides to kill weeds and pests, respectively. In contrast, the thermal drone helps farmers examine the farmland's temperature and determine the appropriate time to irrigate the farmland. Furthermore, the drone technology uses data pooling and AI, such as near-infrared devices, to gather data on a farm's chlorophyll levels, which helps the farmers to know the health status of crops, apply the necessary precautions or cure, save crops' lives and increase farm yields [17]. These technologies also help farmers to build resilience against potential attacks.  
Furthermore, the same blockchain, IoT, and AI technologies have also been used to uplift the performance of the agricultural sector in Nigeria. For instance, Hello Tractor, Thrive Agric, Farmcrowdy, Crop2 Cash, TradeBuza, Verdant AgriTech, AFEX, and AgroMall have contributed immensely to the agricultural sector development in Nigeria. Hello Tractor is an IoT digital solutions platform that connects financial institutions, farm equipment owners, and dealers, especially tractor owners, to farmers in Nigeria. This IoT platform digitalizes the tractor services and helps poor farmers that rely on crude agricultural technology with low financial resources (which often result in under cultivation and late planting) improve their farming activities, and hence their productivity and income. Hello Tractor promotes inclusion by connecting small and poor farm owners that often rely on traditional farming methods to the tractor owners to improve their farm yields. Specifically, the digital solutions firm helps farms access financial resources by connecting farmers to financial institutions, thereby supporting financial inclusion. Furthermore, the platform helps farmers and tractor owners to build resilience by using data pooling and AI to collect data on farmers' activities and provide remote tracking of farm equipment to prevent loss, fraud, and machine misuse. These promote sustainable development, especially sustainable farming and decent work in Nigeria. Some other technology-driven firms have also digitalized agricultural activities in Nigeria and have driven inclusive economic growth and sustainable development to an extent. These include Farmcrowdy, Thrive Agric, AgroMall, Crop2 Cash, and Afex [17].  
Likewise, digital platforms, such as YouTube and Zoom, have largely been used to build resilience against global pandemics, such as COVID-19, which called for social distancing and minimizing conversational communication costs in the agricultural sector. The two platforms have been mainly used to train both large and smallholder farmers on new farming techniques in Nigeria. Moreover, they have served as a means of communicating essential information and updating farmers' knowledge on the digital marketing strategies that will boost their income. Furthermore, social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, have boosted agribusiness by allowing agricultural marketers to reach consumers of farm products and producers of agricultural inputs effectively and engage them in commercial transactions. In precis, by connecting the smallholder farmers to the global market, digital technologies promote inclusion and support sustainable development.
