Abstract: Agriculture plays an essential role in the economic and social development of Vietnam. However, the agricultural sector faces many challenges, some of which arise from the Industrial Revolution 4.0, such as the application of Information Technology (IT). This paper illustrates the impacts of IT on agricultural development, online agricultural marketing, climate change adaptation, food security, and food safety in Vietnam. Research results show that for the agricultural sector to succeed in the 21st century, Vietnam must intensify its application of IT, make agricultural policy improvements, invest more in education, improve the qualification of receiving science and technology, and identify new agricultural production opportunities for the labour force.
