Incorporating sustainability into business operations is likely to become one of the most significant priorities and challenges for companies in the near future. SMEs operating within conventional frameworks often experience constraints when adjusting to evolving circumstances. They frequently lack resources, qualified experts, skills, and capabilities to enable the efficient implementation of DT within the organization. In this paper, Eurostat datasets were analyzed to uncover trends in SME digitalization and sustainability, focusing on patterns in data utilization, employee training, and environmental considerations. These insights were integrated into an altered Ecocanvas sustainability modeling tool to develop a framework supporting their strategic planning and decision-making. It has proven to be a useful tool for this purpose by mapping business processes against sustainability and strategic goals while indicating where digital or alternative solutions can be introduced. SMEs analyze data and consider environmental impacts at different levels based on their size categories. To determine whether these differences are statistically significant, we have performed one-way ANOVA tests. This paper aims to provide a data-driven situational analysis and tool, which outlines the benefits of data analytics from several aspects while offering practical recommendations for company leaders to consider and implement.

Digitalisation supporting business processes will be increasingly important for the agrifood industry and the related supply chain. The primary goal of this research is to highlight research works investigating the agrifood sector with digitalisation, based on structured literature collection and using a nomenclature of an internationally recognised database, namely Eurostat. Systematic literature review was done in order to achieve the goal set using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology and the keywords of digitalisation and agri/agro-food. The meta-data of Scopus and Web of Science databases were used for this study. 92 articles were included in the qualitative analysis and results show that the topic on digitalisation with the agri-food industry and/or supply chain has been increasing year by year. Furthermore, the most important topic dealt by a high percentage of the articles is the e-business, in particular the level of the technological solutions for the integration with customers and suppliers. Moreover, the pandemic situation over the past few years has drawn the attention of the researchers to analyse the effects of COVID-19.
