E Agriculture and ICT Enabled Governance: An Empirical Study on Digital Transformation in the Agriculture Sector
摘要
The research paper will investigate the relationship between ICT-enabled governance, policy provisions, and digital literacy and digital transformation in the agricultural sector. It utilised a quantitative research approach, and the results were received based on 275 participants. The relationships and effects of the variables were examined with the help of correlation regression analysis, ANOVA and descriptive statistics. Results have shown that policy frameworks and digital literacy are the most significant influences of agricultural digital transformation. Also, there is a more indirect but much bigger impact of ICT-enabled governance. The model was found to be reliable and valid through diagnostic assessments, and a few outliers were used to moderate the local adaptability variations. The analysis highlights the fact that digital transformation in agriculture is not only about technology but it also involves ensuring that there is a strong policy, encouragement of agricultural training, and practical governance practises. The findings highlight that concerted efforts are imperative to enhance digital literacy to promote favourable policy settings and ICT-based policy instruments to enhance sustainable, inclusive, and technology-intensive rural development.
