Literature review synthesis on predictors of Green IoT irrigation adoption in Morocco: Theoretical construct essay

Abstract

The agricultural sector is unpredictable and complicated for farmers to manage it, especially with all the immoderate challenges that condemn the development of agricultural production. Regarding Morocco, water scarcity remains the major challenge that face the sector and put at risk the irrigation based fields-that represents approximately the half of the agricultural GDP-, the nutritional needs of the Moroccan population as well as the global sustainable growth. A way to handle this issue is adopting green IT that enable farmers to establish one of the latest trends in the global smart irrigation systems which are Green Internet Of Things or G-IoT driven smart irrigation. These technologies are currently highly requested and used in the Moroccan agricultural context contributing to the economic and environmental performance. Consequently, the aim of this study is to inspect the factors that affect the farmer's intention to adopt Green IoT based irrigation systems in the Moroccan case. The study is conducted on a literature review based on studies concerning the same subject matter in an international level, and contribute to the research development by proposing a theoretical model related to farmers’ Green IoT adoption.
