Abstract: This study investigates the integration of digital technologies into agribusiness education to bridge the persistent gap between theoretical instruction and practical application. Employing a comprehensive literature review and qualitative analysis of recent case studies, it examines the use of precision agriculture systems, internet of things (IoT) devices, and AI-driven analytics platforms in fostering industry-aligned competencies. The findings reveal that embedding digital tools in curricula enhances students' practical skills, critical thinking, and decision-making abilities, thereby strengthening their preparedness for sustainability-oriented agribusiness sectors. The study underscores the necessity for continuous curriculum adaptation to technological innovation to ensure graduates remain competitive in a rapidly evolving industry. Limitations include the qualitative scope and the focus on technologically advanced regions. Future research should incorporate longitudinal and quantitative analyses while addressing issues of digital equity and data privacy to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of digitalisation in agribusiness education.

Keywords: sustainable agribusiness; digital agribusiness education; Industry 4.0; Industry 5.0; AI in agriculture; digital ecosystems; practical learning.
