“…Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT): On a blockchain, tampering with data is practically impossible, reducing the possibility of fake goods or incorrectly labeled substances and thwarting fraud involving agricultural products [73]. All parties involved, from farmers to merchants, have access to reliable information regarding food production, processing, and transportation, which promotes collaboration and prevents fraud.…”

Agriculture can be regarded as the backbone of human civilization. As technology evolved, the synergy between agriculture and remote sensing has brought about a paradigm shift, thereby entirely revolutionizing the traditional agricultural practices. Nevertheless, the adoption of remote sensing technologies in agriculture face various challenges in terms of limited spatial and temporal coverage, high cloud cover, low data quality and so on. Industry 5.0 marks a new era in the industrial revolution, where humans and machines collaborate closely, leveraging their distinct capabilities, thereby enhancing the decision making capabilities, sustainability and resilience. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on remote sensing technologies and related aspects in dealing with the various agricultural practices in the Industry 5.0 (I5.0) era. We also elaborately discuss the various applications pertaining to I5.0enabled remote sensing for agriculture. Finally, we discuss several challenges and issues related to the integration of I5.0 technologies in agricultural remote sensing. This comprehensive survey on remote sensing for agriculture in Industry 5.0 era offers valuable insights into the current state, challenges, and potential advancements in the integration of remote sensing technologies and Industry 5.0 principles in agriculture, thus paving the way for future research, development, and implementation strategies in this domain.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a major trend that is seen as a great opportunity to improve efficiency in many domains, including agriculture. This technology could transform the sector, improving the management and quality of agricultural operations, for example, crop farming. The most promising data transmission standard for this domain seems to be Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN), a popular representative of low power wide area network technologies today. LoRaWAN, like any wireless protocol, has properties that can be exploited by attackers, which has been a topic of multiple research papers in recent years. By conducting a systematic literature review, we build a recent list of attacks, as well as collect mitigation options. Taking a look at a concrete use case (IoT in agriculture) allows us to evaluate the practicality of both exploiting the vulnerabilities and implementing the countermeasures. We detected 16 attacks that we grouped into six attack types. Along with the attacks, we collect countermeasures for attack mitigation. Developers can use our findings to minimize the risks when developing applications based on LoRaWAN. These mostly theoretical security recommendations should encourage future works to evaluate the mitigations in practice.
