چکیده

توسعه کشاورزی دیجیتال در ایران به دلیل محدودیت‌های ساختاری و منابع آبی، یک ضرورت راهبردی غیرقابل اجتناب است. با وجود اینکه مطالعات بین‌المللی بر مؤلفه‌های پذیرش اجتماعی و زیرساخت‌های فناورانه تأکید دارند، فقدان سناریوهای بومی و روش‌شناختی منسجم، بزرگترین خلا تحقیقاتی در این حوزه است. این پژوهش کاربردی و آینده‌نگر با بهره‌گیری از روش سناریونگاری شهودی، به تدوین سناریوهای گذار به کشاورزی دیجیتال در ایران پرداخته و بینش‌های سیاستی ملموسی را ارائه می‌دهد. روش پژوهش کیفی، توسعه‌ای و آینده‌نگر بوده و داده‌ها در دو فاز اسنادی و میدانی (با مشارکت ۱۶ خبره) گردآوری شد. فرآیند تحلیل در پنج مرحله شامل تعریف افق زمانی ۱۴۲۵، شناسایی ۲۰ نیروی پیشران در قالب الگوی STEEP، ارزیابی تأثیر و عدم قطعیت، ساخت ماتریس سناریو و شناسایی سناریوهای ممکن، محتمل و مطلوب انجام شد. یافته‌ها نشان داد دو عدم قطعیت کلیدی «سطح توسعه فناوری» و «سطح پذیرش اجتماعی» محورهای اصلی هستند که بر اساس آن‌ها چهار سناریو تدوین شد: «طلای سبز دیجیتال» (سناریوی مطلوب با فناوری پیشرفته و پذیرش بالا)، «نبض سبز» (سناریوی محتمل با پذیرش بالا اما فناوری محدود)، «طلوع منجمد» (سناریوی ممکن و نامطلوب با فناوری بالا اما پذیرش پایین) و «زمین خاموش» (سناریوی فاجعه‌بار با فناوری و پذیرش پایین). تحقق سناریوی مطلوب نیازمند پنج اقدام سیاستی اساسی است: توسعه زیرساخت‌های دیجیتال روستایی، ارتقای سواد دیجیتال کشاورزان از طریق آموزش‌های هدفمند، طراحی سیاست‌های حمایتی و انگیزشی شامل تسهیلات مالی و بیمه هوشمند محصولات، اجرای پروژه‌های پایلوت و شبکه‌های نوآوری، و تقویت همکاری‌های بین‌المللی برای انتقال دانش فنی و تجربیات موفق. نتیجه نهایی اینکه بدون مداخله فعال، هماهنگ و پایدار دولت و سایر بازیگران و ذینفعان در این پنج حوزه، احتمال حرکت کشور به سمت سناریوهای نامطلوب به ویژه «زمین خاموش» به طور قابل توجهی افزایش خواهد یافت.

چکیده [English]

Due to structural limitations and water resource constraints, the development of digital agriculture in Iran is an unavoidable strategic necessity. Although international studies emphasize the components of social acceptance and technological infrastructure, the lack of indigenous scenarios and a coherent methodological framework represents the most significant research gap in this field. This applied and forward-looking research, utilizing the intuitive logic scenario planning method, develops transition scenarios for digital agriculture in Iran and provides tangible policy insights. The research methodology is qualitative, developmental, and forward-looking, with data collected in two phases: documentary and field studies (with the participation of 16 experts). The analysis process was conducted in five stages: defining the time horizon to 1425 (2045 AD), identifying 20 driving forces using the STEEP framework, assessing impact and uncertainty, constructing a scenario matrix, and identifying possible, probable, and preferable scenarios. The findings revealed two key uncertainties—"level of technological development" and "level of social acceptance"—as the main axes, based on which four scenarios were developed: "Digital Green Gold" (preferable scenario with advanced technology and high acceptance), "Green Pulse" (probable scenario with high acceptance but limited technology), "Frozen Dawn" (possible and unfavorable scenario with high technology but low acceptance), and "Silent Ground" (catastrophic scenario with low technology and low acceptance). Realizing the preferable scenario requires five fundamental policy actions: developing rural digital infrastructure, enhancing farmers' digital literacy through targeted training, designing supportive and incentive policies including financial facilities and smart crop insurance, implementing pilot projects and innovation networks, and strengthening international cooperation for the transfer of technical knowledge and successful experiences. Ultimately, without active, coordinated, and sustained intervention by the government and other actors and stakeholders in these five areas, the likelihood of the country moving toward unfavorable scenarios, especially "Silent Ground," will increase significantly.
