The world’s population is expected to grow by 30%–35% over the next 60 years. Forecasts indicate that will reach almost 10 billion 2050, with India and China as most populous countries. As a result, demand for global food production, particularly protein dairy products, their nutritional quality need increase 50%–75%. In addition increasing it also necessary consider reduce impact on environment ecosystem. On one hand, threat of climate change, reduction arable land agricultural expansion, economic geopolitical conflicts, human animal health pandemics, conjuncture domestic political environments, new technologies are main bottlenecks sustainable production worldwide. contrast, notable technological advances have been achieved in current agriculture through basic advanced scientific research, development, innovation, technology transfer agribusiness sector. Technological various sectors become increasingly important minimize environmental impacts. This review study briefly highlights major world contributed substantial from early days extractive high-performance agriculture. It then key breakthroughs, disruptive technologies, change agriculture, contributions molecular sciences revolutionizing focusing Brazilian livestock, agribusiness. Subsequently, evolution highlighted based market share products its relevance national GDP. Finally, potential decision-making could positive sector affect import export were addressed.

Despite the agribusiness industry's potential, it is still characterised by a high level of conventional means production, denying numerous opportunities along value chain in Africa. Meanwhile, adopting modern production using digital innovations can boost farmers' efficiency. Given relevance within industry, current paper gives an overview particularly Africa, synthesising existing literature on to consolidate scattered ideas and give recommendations for practice future studies. The PRISMA technique was adopted synthesise 47 relevant articles from Scopus database. Bibliometric tools such as VOSviewer R-Package-Bibliometrix were used analyse data. From results, most papers African emanated journal with broader scope—Sustainability Journal (Switzerland). Most funding innovation studies sponsored foreign donors outside Continent, Consortium International Agricultural Research Centers France sponsoring research. Based publication synthesis trend publications, five themes, namely, agricultural chain, training skills development through innovations, finance agribusiness, precision innovations: survival, drivers adoption identified. marketing, have been profound though they are skewed towards few South, West, North countries. challenges Africa mainly social, economic, political, institutional factors. recommended that, since primarily governments, thus betraying commitment continent's readiness transform sector via technology, Governments, first, second, non-governmental organisations other should prioritise digitalisation agriculture integrating them into economic plans making resources available all actors upstream downstream.
