Abstract

The adoption of technological innovations, such as the Internet of Things, in rural areas becomes a promising tool for promoting local productive development in a more efficient and environmentally sustainable way. In this context, this research aims to highlight the agricultural activities that can benefit from the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), exploring the corpus of research on the subject. As an investigation method, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was carried out in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, covering all publications available to date. The keywords used to search for searches in the aforementioned databases are the term itself, Internet of Things, and words related to agricultural activities in agriculture, livestock, fishing and forestry. After applying the filtering and selection criteria, the final analysis sample consisted of 68 articles whose information was characterized and analyzed. As conclusions, the journals that most published within the subject studied are presented, with emphasis on “Computers and Electronics in Agriculture”. The articles are mostly directed to agricultural activities, with 45 researches that contemplate this productive activity, highlighting the countries India and China as the largest market players in this area. An important result of this investigation is the categorization of research by domain of application of innovation, highlighting the domains of monitoring, control, prediction and logistics, in this order of priority. The findings theoretically contribute to the survey of the state of the art on research dealing with the use of IoT in agriculture, serving as a source of literature for future research. As contributions to the practice, this article brings diverse information about the different possibilities of inserting this technology within Brazilian rural properties, collaborating with local productive development and helping to meet current and urgent needs.
