Adoption of IoT in Agriculture - Systematic Review

Abstract

This study aimed to elucidate the diverse applications and concrete advantages of incorporating IoT technology into the agricultural sector of the United States. This paper highlights the potential of IoT to address difficulties and create possibilities for resilience and sustainable advancement in agriculture. It does so by examining numerous case studies across different aspects of agricultural production. Recent findings indicate that the United States has significant potential for the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in agriculture. This has the potential to completely transform farming methods and enhance productivity, sustainability, and profitability. Utilising IoT technology in precision agriculture enables specific methods for irrigation, fertilisation, and insect control, resulting in increased crop production and decreased environmental impact. Nevertheless, there are significant obstacles that continue to exist, such as the upfront investment required for IoT infrastructure, apprehensions about the confidentiality and security of data, challenges related to compatibility, and the widespread lack of access to digital technology in rural regions. To tackle these problems, it is essential for stakeholders to work together, which involves providing financial support, establishing legislative frameworks, offering expert technical guidance and education, and improving accessibility to infrastructure. By taking coordinated and determined steps, the agriculture industry may overcome these challenges, thereby harnessing the complete capabilities of IoT technology to promote sustainable development and adaptability.
