Abstract

This paper examines the role of technology in promoting sustainable farming practices to enhance food security in emerging nations. With growing populations and the increasing pressure on natural resources, sustainable farming has become a critical approach to ensuring long-term food production while minimizing environmental impact. The study focuses on how emerging technologies, such as precision agriculture, smart irrigation systems, and digital supply chain management, are being integrated into agribusinesses in developing countries. Through a mixed-methods approach, including case studies, interviews, and data analysis, the research explores the challenges and opportunities presented by these technologies in addressing food security issues. Findings reveal that the adoption of advanced technologies leads to increased crop yields, optimized resource use, and reduced waste, which are essential for building resilient agricultural systems. However, the study also highlights barriers such as the digital divide, limited access to financing, and lack of technical knowledge, which hinder the full potential of these innovations. The paper concludes that for emerging nations to achieve sustainable food security, there must be strategic investments in technology infrastructure, capacity building, and supportive policies that bridge the gap between traditional farming practices and modern agribusiness solutions.
