25 pages, The consumption of food production demand for quality of food and the environmental impact of agriculture have led to utilize the information and communication technology in the agricultural sector. The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a contemporary technology, which is evolving quickly in recent years and brings many benefits with it to modernize the agriculture. The scientific groups and research institutes are working to deliver clarifications and solutions for the use of IoT to address various aspects of agriculture. The focal point of this research is to present an SLR (Systematic Literature
Review) by collecting the valid and innovative research on IoT in agriculture which has been done during 2019 at School of System and Technology, University of Management and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan. This SLR has been conducted through research articles which were published in the prestigious venues from 2006 to 2019. In order to conduct this SLR concerned studies have been clustered into different classifications: type of the concerned research, empirical type, technological solutions for agriculture like monitoring, control, prediction, logistics and their sub-domains. Moreover, an IoT based framework of smart agriculture has been presented that indicate the current solutions of agricultural problems. The selected 80 research papers have been classified as per defined criteria. The findings of this research have been discussed in
detail and summarize the practice of IoT in agriculture.
6 pages., Evidence overwhelmingly supports the view that we need to drastically reduce our consumption of animal products for reasons related to the environment and public health, while moral concerns about the treatment of animals in agriculture are becoming ever more common. As governments increasingly recognize the need to change our food production and alternative protein products become more appealing to consumers, agriculture finds itself in a unique period of transition. How do farmers respond to the changing atmosphere? We present secondary analyses of qualitative and quantitative data to highlight some of the uncertainty and ambivalence about meat production felt throughout the farming community. Survey data from France and Germany reveals that in both countries, those who work in the meat industry have significantly higher rates of meat avoidance than those who do not work in the industry. While non-meat-industry workers are more likely to cite concerns for animals or the environment, meat industry workers more often cite concerns about the healthiness or safety of the products. Concurrently, interviews with people who raise animals for a living suggest that moral concerns among farmers are growing but largely remain hidden; talking about them openly was felt as a form of betrayal. We discuss these findings in the context of the ongoing agricultural transition, observe how tension has manifested as polarization among Dutch farmers, and offer some thoughts about the role of farmers in a new world of alternative proteins.
