More than two decades of research on IoT in agriculture: a systematic literature review
MAR 2, 2023 | INTERNET RESEARCH
Agriculture holds great potential for the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize the sector, but its adoption has been slower than anticipated. A systematic review conducted by Royal Holloway University of London examines the state of IoT in agriculture and explores the reasons behind its sluggish implementation. The review analyzed 1,355 relevant publications from the past decade. The findings highlight three major barriers in the agricultural sector: cost, skills, and standardization. Limited connectivity and data governance hinder the development of integrated IoT solutions, leading to standalone systems with restricted scope. Commercial efforts mostly focus on indoor environments. Notably, the review reveals a research opportunity in understanding barriers and solutions at the business layer of the IoT system architecture. The study provides practical insights into the technical and organizational challenges faced on the ground, offering a foundation for further investigation by information systems scholars. This comprehensive review is the first of its kind to address adoption barriers and solutions across all five layers of the IoT system architecture, making it a valuable contribution to the field.
