The adoption of smart farming has altered food production by increasing efficiency, sustainability, and productivity. However, there is a digital divide, with affluent countries such as the United States benefiting from advanced agricultural technologies, nevertheless, many African face limited access to tools, inadequate infrastructure, financial restraints. This disparity implications for security, economic development, global prompting an in-depth examination factors impacting in different regions. review examines benefits impact on productivity, well identifies potential cross-regional knowledge sharing across Africa. findings indicate that technologies have considerably increased productivity sustainability States, due strong government initiatives, public-private collaborations, widespread infrastructure. In contrast, farmers confront broadband connection, constraints, insufficient institutional support, which restricts precision agriculture data-driven farming. Therefore, bridging divide necessitates comprehensive approach combines technology, policy, capacity- building efforts.
