The paper aims to highlight how SMART Irrigation System using Internet of Things (IoT) contributes towards sustainability development in environment, economy and society and which SDGs they contribute to. However, one of the challenges that this research faces is the understanding of the impact of the implementation of sustainable irrigation practices on the environment, economy, and society. This research shows the theoretical benefits from the implementation of sustainable irrigation practices for those three main aspects. Results show that this project theoretically contributes towards some SDGs like SDG 2, 3, 6, 12 and 15. This leads to a long-term solution such as precise irrigation and less water consumption to produce more quality crops for the environment, economy, and society.

CONTEXT: Initiatives that aim to support sustainable and equitable agri-food systems transformation require a shift away from linear narratives of innovation development, adoption, and impact, toward more complexity-aware perspectives on the agency and behavior of system actors.OBJECTIVE: In this article, we propose a conceptual framework on agency and behavior change for transforming agri-food systems (ACT). The ACT framework explores food system actors’ behaviors with attention to their power, agency, and the influence of structural agri-food system elements.METHODS: To test whether our conceptual framework can enable insights for improved initiative design, we applied it to initiatives supporting agroecological transformation in five countries: India, Kenya, Peru, Tunisia, and Zimbabwe. We examined how the initiatives engaged with food system actors, the actors’ behaviors, and the factors shaping agency and behavior.RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: We found these initiatives focused heavily on shaping producers’ behavior through knowledge transfer. Attention to wider agri-food system actors and engagement with economic, resource, governance, and social and relational subsystems was relatively limited. We demonstrate that the ACT framework can support a more diverse exploration of target actors, behaviors, key factors shaping behaviors, and the enumeration of logical and contextually appropriate theories of change.SIGNIFICANCE: Through this, the framework will inform design and implementation of more effective, inclusive, actor-centered agri-food initiatives.
