Abstract

Technology adoption models comprise an important field of research in the studies of economics, anthropology, sociology and psychology of innovation, applied to different productive and social sectors. Primary food production companies have been adopting new techniques and technologies that allow them to improve their quality, increase their productivity and competitiveness. The search criteria were: Technological adoption, Dairy production, agrofoods technology, Technological adoption model, robotic and digital technology. The work allows us to warn of the emergence of dimensions and variables, as well as to carry out theoretical-conceptual, technical-methodological combinations with socio-technical studies, thereby giving way to an interdisciplinary research agenda with a view to improving the management process of the technology adoption process.
