State Of Art Technology And Framework For Iot Based Agricultural Systems

Abstract

The conventional methods of agriculture have recently undergone a significant modernization, driven by technological breakthroughs such as the Internet of Things (IoT). This transformation aims to enhance crop yields to meet the escalating demands of the global population.

This study intends to investigate the state-of-the-art Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart agriculture, clarifying its constituents-smart devices and sensors-as well as various communication protocols. Additionally, the discussion encompasses country-wide policies, prevailing challenges, [1]and unresolved issues within IoT-based agriculture, culminating in the proposal of a comprehensive framework for smart agriculture. Furthermore, the paper delves into the utilization of open-source software for effective agricultural management.

To achieve this, a meticulous review of high-quality papers published after 2018 in renowned databases such as Springer, IEEE, ScienceDirect, and Elsevier has been conducted. The selected papers undergo thorough analysis, forming the basis for the proposed IoT framework.

In identifying the challenges encountered in smart agriculture utilizing IoT, the research highlights critical concerns. These include technological limitations in communication protocols, data transmission issues linked to the flimsy IoT system architecture, guaranteeing data security while data transmission is in progress, lowered accuracy of locating, and a widespread lack of knowledge about technology among most farmers.

The paper underscores the imperative need for extensive education and training initiatives targeted at farmers in rural areas to foster an understanding of the myriad benefits offered by IoT-based smart agriculture. Furthermore, the advocacy for standardized government policies pertaining to IoT-based agriculture at a national level is emphasized as a pivotal step in promoting widespread adoption and success.
