The transition from traditional agriculture to Digital Agriculture involves various elements that make it challenging. Given the different contexts and particularities, this paper aims to identify and analyze the primary factors and barriers to adopting Digital Agriculture, to promote an understanding of this transition. By conducting a bibliometric assessment and analyzing case studies, the results show that the economic condition, availability of technological infrastructure, technical knowledge, age of farmers, type of organization, reliability of technology, and concerns about security and privacy are important elements in adopting Digital Agriculture. The study also reveals a limitation linked to the data sources used in their preparation by analyzing the case studies. This finding reveals the existence of a gap in the literature concerning the scarcity of indicators capable of measuring the adoption of digital agriculture while at the same time providing a perspective devoid of producer bias. Furthermore, by considering the insights provided by the identification and analysis of those factors and barriers, policymakers can tailor policies to address specific challenges and promote the widespread adoption of digital technologies in agriculture.
