Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an evolving paradigm that seeks to connect different smart physical components for multi-domain modernization. To automatically manage and track agricultural lands with minimal human intervention, numerous IoT-based frameworks have been introduced. This paper presents a rigorous discussion on the major components, new technologies, security issues, challenges and future trends involved in the agriculture domain. An in-depth report on recent advancements has been covered in this paper. The goal of this survey is to help potential researchers detect relevant IoT problems and, based on the application requirements, adopt suitable technologies. Furthermore, the significance of IoT and Data Analytics for smart agriculture has been highlighted.
Introduction
The increasing demand for food, both in order to ensure quality and quantities, has accelerated the need of industrial growth and intensive methods of production in agriculture. At the forefront of the new agricultural era, there is an emerging Internet of Things (IoT) market that is suggesting several creative solutions. Research organizations and scientific associations are seeking to increase their own scope and speed by connectingwith IoT, contributing technologies and goods to a range of different agriculture markets. The IoT idea gained prominence in the year 2000, with the development of the Auto-ID at MIT and the subsequent market research reports. In IoT, these systems communicate, perceive, and connect with internal & external state embedded technologies [1]. IoT is widely seen as the nextgeneration technologies with widespread applicability across almost every facet of the market, with the ability to increase the degree of integration of end products, systems, and services. IoT technologies are ideal for a number of applications, including healthcare services, smart communities, traffic management, agricultural systems, and security facilities.
