Digital agriculture (DA) is considered a new farming revolution that has various benefits and is being promoted in policymaking. This raises the question of whether the current digital revolution in agriculture will cause landscape change, as technology has always been an important driving force behind this change. Existing research has mainly focused on the socio-economic and environmental impacts of DA, rather than its impact on the landscape. This article investigates if and how the nexus between landscape and DA is addressed in scientific journals through a systematic literature review. The review concludes that DA does influence all landscape dimensions at multiple scales. However, due to the limited evidence-based research on this issue, we propose two hypothetical scenarios to help planners and policymakers to better understand the plausible consequences of digitalisation and, give some suggestions to scholars to further develop research on this issue
