Literature Review of IoT and Blockchain Technology in Agriculture.

The field of agriculture represents a major turning point in economic development, and many modern technologies such as the Internet of Things and blockchain technology are playing an effective role in making agriculture simpler and smarter. The Internet of Things is a common model of information technology, as the use of this modern technology in agriculture has become more widespread, and applications have been integrated to record and update various activities. Sensors will make it easier for farmers to gather basic information and field details, for example by monitoring soil and crops. But as IoT attacks become more sophisticated, the threat vectors increase. As such, blockchain technology plays a key role in addressing the security and privacy challenges associated with using the Internet of Things (IoT). Blockchain can be used to expand the application range of IoT. This article aims to present a comprehensive review of existing and recent research literature concerning both blockchain and Internet of Things technologies and future research directions in the field of smart agricultural systems have been presented.
