Finally, the study identified some emerging CSA critical success factors necessary for developing a plausible future in Africa namely the need for more training (awareness & capacity building), gender and youth mainstreaming, accommodating the voice of the smallholder farmers, and going beyond socio-economic barriers to encompass the analyses of relevant CSA policy instruments in Africa. [...] 11 In addition to above, we can also see from the (figure 3 above), that majority of the studies that addressed the CSA in Africa tended use ‘planning frame’ and ‘scenaric frame’ as the main lenses of enquiry for prob- ing the future. [...] Proposition 4: The higher the opportunity to develop the absorptive capacity for adopting industry 4.0 technolo- gy to the CSA practices, the higher the likelihood for achieving plausible futures in Africa. [...] One of the key issues affecting the adoption and scaling-up of the CSA in Africa is the negative perception and farmers resistance to change especially the smallholder farmers (Nyang’au et al., 2021; Antwi-Agyei et al et al., 2021). [...] The study utilises a secondary desk-based exploratory systematic review and analysis leading to the devel- opment of a summary of the current state of research on CSA plausible futures in Africa.
