dc.description.abstractAgriculture is a primary sector of production that is important for providing basic raw materials for many sectors. There seemed to be more people practicing it traditionally, and this situation is limiting the buoyancy of agricultural productivity. Traditional agriculture cannot fully thrive in the 21st century. This is because the global human population is currently growing at an alarming rate that is much higher than the agricultural productivity requirements to strike a balance, especially between food demand and supply. Hence, there is a need to take advantage of technology and incorporate it into agriculture with a view to bridging the gaps created by traditional agriculture. In this review paper, agricultural productivity information as it relates to the human population is presented. Also presented was background information on digital technology and its connections to agriculture through the use of some existing digital technology devices for improved productivity. Furthermore, matters relating to the rice value chain, with specific attention to Nigeria, were given extensive consideration. The circular economy (CE) approach was presented as a means of converting the three (3) major rice value chain by-products or wastes (straw, husk, and bran) to other value-added products. The CE will protect the environment and make it more friendly. Also, it will improve productivity, increase income, and create better living conditions for those in the rice value chain in Nigeria.
