Sustainable Development Goals 2030 emphasizes the need for sustainable agriculture and consequently modern technologies play an important role to attain this agenda. The young generation of farmers are more inclined towards farming with greater usage of technology such as 3D visualization technology. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine the attributes for the development of a 3D technology on sustainable farm management among young farmers. Past studies were used as the mechanism to provide data for this research. The outcome from this study is three pathways are provided for future research on development of 3D visualization technology to further enhance Gen Y engagement in agriculture.
