Digital technology is often considered a lever to enhance farms’ sustainability. However, its effects are controversial. We investigated these associations through an original survey conducted with 157 market gardeners. Digital technology is examined through the diversity of its uses. The authors employ a matching method to analyze the relationship between four digital technology uses and six sustainability goals. They show that while some uses are positively associated with sustainability goals, others are negatively associated or show no significant association. Digital technology appears more suitable for achieving narrow sustainability objectives (farmer well-being and financial health) than broad ones (organic farming and biodiversity preservation).
