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.
The concept of technology adoption (along with its companions, diffusion and scaling) is commonly used to design development interventions, to frame impact evaluations and to inform decision-making about new investments in development-oriented agricultural research. However, adoption simplifies and mischaracterises what happens during processes of technological change. In all but the very simplest cases, it is likely to be inadequate to capture the complex reconfiguration of social and technical components of a technological practice or system. We review the insights of a large and expanding literature, from various disciplines, which has deepened understanding of technological change as an intricate and complex sociotechnical reconfiguration, situated in time and space. We explain the problems arising from the inappropriate use of adoption as a framing concept and propose an alternative conceptual framework for understanding and evaluating technological change. The new approach breaks down technology change programmes into four aspects: propositions, encounters, dispositions and responses. We begin to sketch out how this new framework could be operationalised.
