1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The agri-food sector is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the combined pressures of climate change, resource scarcity, policy frameworks, and evolving consumer expectations. In this context, digital and green technologies have emerged as key enablers of more sustainable, transparent, and resilient food systems. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the conceptual foundations, technological drivers, and policy frameworks shaping the digital and green transition of the agri-food sector. Digital technologies-including precision agriculture, sensing and data acquisition systems, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and data platforms-are examined in relation to their role in improving resource-use efficiency, traceability, and decision-making across the food value chain. In parallel, green technologies and sustainable practices in food production, processing, and waste management are discussed, with emphasis on resource optimization, circular economy approaches, and environmental impact reduction. This review further highlights the role of European and global policy frameworks, such as the European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork strategy, in steering technological adoption and aligning innovation with sustainability objectives. By synthesizing technological, environmental, and policy perspectives, this work underscores the importance of integrated digital-green strategies for achieving long-term sustainability, competitiveness, and resilience in agri-food systems.
