“…The experience acquired through the COVID-19 crisis may also contribute to optimizing the part of the livestock supply chain that includes processing, retail, and marketing through strengthening the connection between producers, retailers, targeted markets, and consumers (66). The inefficient relationship between these key elements has resulted in significant waste in animal products (milk and meat), which could be avoided through establishing online marketing platforms and internet technology services (67).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the emergence of a new strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) around the end of December 2019, has caused a worldwide public health emergency and a socioeconomic crisis during 2020. The lockdown imposed to cope with the health issues caused by the outbreak of the disease has dramatically challenged and negatively affected all the economic sectors of the modern global economy. Specifically, the livestock sector and its related industries are among the most impacted sectors. This is mainly ascribed to the limitations of animal movement and the decrease of production inputs' availability. Other factors negatively affecting the sustainability of the livestock sector have been the shortage of workers due to the lockdown/curfew, the strong decrease in the purchasing power of the consumer, and the intensification of health care tasks. Such an impact is not only highly relevant because of their economic consequences, but also because of the effects of the lockdown and sanitary rules on animal care and welfare. The current review aims to offer: (a) a comprehensive overview of the impact of COVID-19 on the welfare of farm animals and on the performance of livestock farming systems, on food chain sustainability, and finally, on the global economy and food security; and (b) a prospective outline of alleviation actions.

“…Current along with new risks and vulnerabilities come along with new as well as older types and architectures of IoT systems in agriculture. Such vulnerabilities can be attributed to hardware and software issues of the IoT devices, communication protocols, as well as data storage and processing solutions (e.g., in cloud infrastructures, data centers and smartphones) [2,11]. A brief but accurate categorization of the main causes of low security in IoT include, according to [2,104,105], the following:…”

“…Over the last years, the role of ICT and IoT in agriculture is increasingly important [ 3 ]. ICT and IoT consists the backbone of the fourth industrial revolution [ 10 ], contributing into sustainable growth and development, especially in the agricultural sector of developing countries [ 11 ]. The demand for greatly increased productivity and efficiency, at a global level, in conjunction with the need to decrease costs and increase the occupation time, from the employers’ point of view, render these technologies an attractive choice for farmers and companies in the agricultural domain.…”

“…The combination of daily-life tools, such as smart phones and/or laptops, with IoT technologies (spanning sensors, gateways, network and middleware devices, as well as additional components for various purposes, e.g., low altitude air-borne hyperspectral imaging system) [ 22 ] lead the innovation in the agricultural sector and establish a new domain of interest, often referred to as “Smart Farming”. The ambition of the aforementioned innovations is to confront the industry problems that have occurred over recent decades since the first agriculture revolution in 1970 [ 3 , 11 ].…”

The agriculture sector has held a major role in human societies across the planet throughout history. The rapid evolution in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) strongly affects the structure and the procedures of modern agriculture. Despite the advantages gained from this evolution, there are several existing as well as emerging security threats that can severely impact the agricultural domain. The present paper provides an overview of the main existing and potential threats for agriculture. Initially, the paper presents an overview of the evolution of ICT solutions and how these may be utilized and affect the agriculture sector. It then conducts an extensive literature review on the use of ICT in agriculture, as well as on the associated emerging threats and vulnerabilities. The authors highlight the main ICT innovations, techniques, benefits, threats and mitigation measures by studying the literature on them and by providing a concise discussion on the possible impacts these could have on the agri-sector.

A rise in the population has immensely increased the pressure on the agriculture sector. With the advent of technology, this decade is witnessing a shift from conventional approaches to the most advanced ones. The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed both the quality and quantity of the agriculture sector. Hybridization of species along with the real-time monitoring of the farms paved a way for resource optimization. Scientists, research institutions, academicians, and most nations across the globe are moving towards the practice and execution of collaborative projects to explore the horizon of this field for serving mankind. The tech industry is racing to provide more optimal solutions. Inclusion of IoT, along with cloud computing, big data analytics, and wireless sensor networks can provide sufficient scope to predict, process, and analyze the situations and improve the activities in the real-time scenario. The concept of heterogeneity and interoperability of the devices by providing flexible, scalable, and durable methods, models are also opening new domains in this field. Therefore, this paper contributes towards the recent IoT technologies in the agriculture sector, along with the development of hardware and software systems. The public and private sector projects and startup's started all over the globe to provide smart and sustainable solutions in precision agriculture are also discussed. The current scenario, applications, research potential, limitations, and future aspects are briefly discussed. Based on the concepts of IoT a precision farming framework is also proposed in this article.
