With the rapid developments in ICT, the current agriculture businesses have
become increasingly data-driven and are supported by advanced data
analytics techniques. In this context, several studies have investigated the adopted data analytics platforms in the agricultural sector. However, the main characteristics and overall findings on these platforms are scattered over the various studies, and to the best of our knowledge, there has been no attempt yet to systematically synthesize the features and obstacles of the adopted data analytics platforms. This article presents the results of an in- depth systematic literature review (SLR) that has explicitly focused on the domains of the platforms, the stakeholders, the objectives, the adopted technologies, the data properties and the obstacles. According to the year- wise analysis, it is found that no relevant primary study between 2010 and 2013 was found. This implies that the research of data analytics in agricultural sectors is a popular topic from recent years, so the results from before 2010 are likely less relevant. In total, 535 papers published from 2010 to 2020 were retrieved using both automatic and manual search strategies, among which 45 journal articles were selected for further analysis. From these primary studies, 33 features and 34 different obstacles were identified. The identified features and obstacles help characterize the different data analytics platforms and pave the way for further research.
The smart farming concept is a broadly adopted concept in agriculture that
emphasizes the use of new agricultural technologies and the application of information and communication technology in the farm management domain (Bacco et al., 2019). As smart machines and various sensors are more commonly installed on the farms, farming processes will become increasingly data-driven and data-enabled (Wolfert et al., 2017). With this, data analytics is becoming an important practice to extract valuable information from big data to support the farm management decision-making process (Perakis et al., 2020).
