This article develops an integrative literature review on sustainable and resilient agricultural systems, focusing on the articulation between agroecology, digital innovation, climate resilience, territorial sustainability, and agricultural governance. The central problem is that recent literature has generated relevant contributions to explain the transition towards more sustainable agricultural systems; however, these contributions often remain dispersed across sectoral approaches that separately emphasize productivity, technology, biodiversity, climate adaptation, or social inclusion. The research was structured through documentary analysis of verifiable scientific literature, selected from international academic databases and organized in a thematic extraction matrix. The analysis identified five conceptual cores: agroecology and agroecosystem redesign; digital innovation and precision agriculture; climate resilience and adaptation; territorial sustainability and landscape approaches; and governance, gender, and social inclusion. The findings show that agricultural sustainability cannot be explained only by productive efficiency or technological adoption, but by the interaction between ecological, technical, institutional, and territorial capacities. In addition, the preliminary co-occurrence graphic analysis shows the conceptual centrality of agroecology, resilience, governance, and digital innovation as articulating fields. The article proposes an integrative conceptual model for understanding sustainable and resilient agricultural systems as complex socio-ecological configurations whose transformation depends on the convergence of environmental conservation, appropriate innovation, territorial justice, and inclusive institutions.
