The Internet of Things, Applications and Technologies Used: The Case of Blockchain Technology In Smart Agriculture

The Internet of Things (IoT) constitutes a technological revolution that has fundamentally altered how individuals work, contemplate, and reside. It is an advanced paradigm that requires a range of technologies and infrastructures. This paper presents a literature review on the use of current technologies in various IoT domains, including statistics from recent research works. The statistical results show that blockchain technology is under-researched compared to other technologies, and less used in agriculture than in other sectors, because this technology was initially associated with crypto and did not recognize its importance for other fields, such as agriculture. So, we will later in this study focus on the importance of on the benefits of use of blockchain technology in smart agriculture, and in particular the potential contribution of this technology to supply chains. Keywords: IoT technologies, blockchain, agriculture, supply chain, transparency, traceability, agri-food.
