A sustainable game changer? Systematic review of serious games using for agriculture

Sylvain Dernat

Abstract

This communication aims to analyse the use of serious games in agriculture. Specifically, it examines the contribution of serious games to sustainable transitions. To do this, a systematic review of the literature is performed using the PRISMA method, followed by a bibliometric analysis (VoSviewer and Cortext) and a comprehensive analysis. It resulted in a corpus of 287 articles, which underscores the substantial growth in the utilisation of serious games in agriculture in recent times. The data reveals that these games are mainly used in case studies in Southern countries as a tool for consultation, with the primary objective of fostering cooperation and mutual understanding among key players in the agriculture industry. The research findings indicate that serious games offer a favourable systemic analysis, supporting the implementation of sustainable transitions in the agriculture sector. These results are important in highlighting the potential benefits of serious games in both agricultural education and agricultural advice. As a tool for agricultural innovation and sustainable approaches, serious games can be a valuable asset in the toolkit for promoting sustainable agriculture. However, it is crucial to evaluate the full extent of their impact and to ensure that their use is efficient and non-partial, through appropriate support. By doing so, we can unlock their full potential as a tool for promoting sustainable transitions in the agriculture sector.
