Abstract

The advent of Internet of Things (IoT) has changed ordinary things into smart, hyperconnected objects that can make intelligent decisions. IoT technology has invaded every area of life including energy sector, health care, agriculture, and vehicular networks. In this paper, the impact created by IoT in the agricultural sector has been carefully reviewed. Expanding population, decrease in available land area due to large-scale urbanization, climate change, etc., are few of the driving factors that have led to the widespread digitization of agriculture. Smart farming, precision agriculture, 5G-enabled IoT for agriculture, and various other technologies have been presented here. The various IoT-based applications in agriculture in terms of automation, monitoring, prediction, and control have been meticulously documented. The prominent research challenges and the future scope of IoT in agriculture have also been analyzed.
