Abstract

Abstract

Internet is used in communication in solving certain human challenges. These challenges are usually in the areas of science and technology including but not limited to agriculture. In all these areas, the internet is used to conduct communication in order to achieve smart recognition, tracking, monitory, administration and positioning. The study evaluated Internet of things-enabled agriculture (IoTsEA). It examined the characteristics of IoTs in relation to agriculture, the deliverables of IoTs in the agricultural subspace and challenges and practicality of the IoTs in smart agriculture. IoTs-enablers for smart agriculture include; improved new technologies, privacy and security of data and provision of technologies that would support related devices to improved information sharing.

Keywords: IoT, smart agriculture, science and technology
