Abstract

The growing demand for agriculture products contradicts the challenges associated with the decline in farming land size and labour workforce. Recent literature acknowledges that the Internet of Things (IoT) plays a crucial role in enhancing the smart aspects already deployed in agriculture. Smart farming is an emerging concept because of IoT sensors capable of aggregating information about their agriculture fields under real-life circumstances. The paper aims to survey the recent implementation of IoT based monitoring systems applied in agriculture worldwide. A systematic literature review carried out to investigate the extent of IoT adoption in agriculture industries. The understanding of Reason to adopt IoT, the Scale of adoption and the cost and benefit of IoT adoption were drawn from papers published in SCOPUS, Web of Science, and DOAJ between 2010 up to early 2020. Twenty-eight most relevant articles extracted from the search. This paper recommends strategies to adopt an IoT-based monitoring tool pertinent to irrigation systems implementation in Indonesia
