A Review on Designing a Europe Wide Big Scale Pilot for the IoT in the Agriculture

Abstract

The Internet of Things technologies have a lot of promise for use in the food and agricultural sector, particularly given the social and environmental problems that this industry faces. IoT technologies have the potential to revolutionize the food industry from farm to fork, contributing to food safety, agricultural input reduction, including food waste reduction. The implementation of the IoT based large scale pilots throughout the whole supply chains will be a significant step toward wider adoption of these technologies. The difficulties and limitations that an LSP implementation of IoT in this area must address are outlined in this article. In the order to establish a sets of the technical or agro food’s needs, sectoral and technological problems are outlined. We quickly describe an architecture based on system of systems approaches, emphasize the significance of solving the sector's interoperability problems, and discuss needs for new privacy, business model, security, including data governances. Finally, a summary of the technology and solutions used in pilot design for four agri-food domain (dairy, fruits,
