Abstract: In the era of the modern 4.0 economic revolution, most countries worldwide are well aware of the need to develop smart agriculture because the negative impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly evident on a large scale. Agricultural development is becoming a trend on a global scale at a rapid rate. Therefore, this study investigates the role of digitalisation in increasing smart-green production willingness in the agriculture sector from the farmers' perspective through the interaction with deforestation, mechanical power, organic fertiliser, and renewable organic resource. This study conducted multiple analyses to test these proposed relationships. The results found that the interactions between digitalisation with mechanical power, deforestation, and renewable organic resource enhance the smart-green production willingness. This study also contributes several implications to literature and practices based on these findings.

Keywords: digitalisation; deforestation; environment protection; smart-green agriculture; carbon emission; green production; innovation.
