Smart Agriculture Using Internet of Things: A Survey

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a new fast communication technology designed to continuously make communication among different types of devices. The researchers have exerted huge efforts to employ IoT to facilitate daily life. These include IoT big issues like securing information exchange, smart agriculture systems, and general-purpose internet access. This paper shows research efforts to enable IoT-based smart agriculture. It starts with the underlying architecture, then discusses some of the recent IoT trials. It classifies the literature by deriving a taxonomy based on technologies, communication cofactors, network types, local area wireless criteria, targets, and characteristics. Moreover, it highlights the unprecedented chances brought about by IoT-based smart architectures and their impact on human life. So IoT will solve these problems by connecting soil moisture sensors, giving us a quick response to avoid crop losses through careful monitoring and remote control of the fields. Moreover, IoT facilitates and solves most agriculture-related problems, through the use of modern technologies in monitoring plant biomarkers and controlling watering processes to increase production and efficiency. This gives us a visualization of the state of the field and enables us to take the necessary measures before the problem occurs as a way of problem anticipation.

Blockchain-Based Cloud-Enabled Security Monitoring Using Internet of Things in Smart Agriculture

“…IoT technology offers many benefits in agriculture, including improving productivity and high yields [20]. There are number of prior works discussing the role of IoT in agriculture, IoT applications in agriculture and the advantages of IoT in the agriculture field [5,9,10,[20][21][22][23]. Olakunle et al [24] presented a review of IoT integration with smart agriculture and data-analytics benefits and challenges.…”

“…The authors of [10] performed a survey of different applications used in smart agriculture with technologies, and cloud computing is used as a backend technology stack for application implementation. Amera et al [5] also performed a survey on using IoT in smart agriculture. The taxonomy is defined using a smart-agriculture architecture and technologies and classified the literature works based on the taxonomy categories.…”

“…Smart agriculture and farming may produce high crop yields, and efficient usage of resources to improve productivity [5]. The recent trends in IoT show that smart agriculture is one of the potential applications for IoT for major process improvements [6,7].…”

IoT with BlockChain: A Futuristic Approach in Agriculture and Food Supply Chain

“…The challenge is to accurately predict potential crop losses to take appropriate measures. IoT nodes enable efficient routing protocols to obtain data and share information with farmers [26].…”

“…Review on IoT in Smart Agriculture. In paper [26], the authors proposed a smart agriculture system to provide information on soil, water supply, and the general state of the field to farmers. The objective of the proposed system was to make agriculture and irrigation more efficient and to make it easier for farmers to take appropriate decisions to increase agricultural production.…”
