Abstract

Smart agriculture is important in achieving the SDGs, especially food and water. The transition to using smart irrigation systems is highly recommended, considering that this transition can optimize agricultural production. A smart irrigation system is a unified irrigation process integrated with automated technology and IoT (Internet of Things) that drives a new direction of smart agricultural technology development. This study highlights the smart irrigation system as the smart agricultural transition concerning SDGs. The main method was a qualitative review based on a literature study with the criteria for exclusion consisting of indexed journals, review papers or research articles, and publications published within the last decade. The review shows the irrigation control and monitoring used in recent years. Other than that, as a brief report on the current status of IoT-related smart irrigation development, several types of effective smart irrigation that have been done before are compared. Discussed the perspective of SDGs, the goal indicators achieved through smart irrigation showed good results; 11 indicators were achieved. Thus, the challenges and prospects of IoT-related development for smart irrigation are discussed. This study will help researchers and farmers understand clever irrigation more effectively and precisely.
