Abstract
Digital transformation has become a critical factor in enhancing the sustainability of production systems within agro-fisheries value chains facing efficiency and resource management challenges. This study aims to analyze the effect of digital technology adoption on resource management practices and its impact on sustainable production systems. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey of agro-fisheries actors and analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results indicate that digital technology adoption has a positive and significant effect on resource management practices and sustainable production systems. Furthermore, resource management practices partially mediate the relationship between digital technology adoption and production sustainability. These findings highlight that the effectiveness of digital transformation largely depends on the integration of technology with sound managerial practices. This study contributes to the understanding of how digital technology and resource management integration can drive sustainable production systems in agro-fisheries value chains.
