Increasing demand for food quality and size has increased the need for industrialization and intensification in the agricultural sector. The internet of things (IoT) is a promising technology that offers many innovative solutions to transform the agricultural sector. Research institutes and scientific groups are constantly working to provide solutions and products for different areas of agriculture using IoT. The main objective of this methodological study is to collect all relevant research results on agricultural IoT applications, sensors/devices, communication protocols, and network types. The authors also talk about the main problems and encounters encountered in the field of agriculture. An IoT agriculture framework is also available that contextualizes the view of various current farming solutions. National guidelines on IoT-based agriculture were also presented. Finally, open issues and challenges were presented, and researchers were highlighted as promising future directions in the field of IoT agriculture.
