Abstract

Agriculture is a cornerstone of Nigeria's economy, providing livelihoods to a significant portion of the population. With the challenges of population growth, climate change, and resource limitations, there is a pressing need to adopt innovative technologies. The Internet of Things (IoT) offers a transformative approach to address these challenges in agriculture. This paper explores the diverse applications of IoT in Nigerian agriculture, examining case studies, benefits, and challenges. By analyzing successful implementations and considering the unique agricultural landscape of Nigeria. It was observed that in Nigerian, IoT enhance productivity in agriculture by enabling precision farming techniques, real-time monitoring of crop conditions, and efficient resource management to enhance productivity and yield but comes with numerous challenges as it regards to limited access to reliable internet connectivity in rural areas and the high cost of IoT devices. Hence, hindering widespread adoption among farmers. This paper therefore aims to summarize and analyze accurately the existing position of use of the internet of things (IoT) in agriculture with its strong influence and difficult tasks being recognized. Define the IoT infrastructure required for agricultural applications, including sensors, actuators, communication networks, and data processing systems to drive productivity, resource efficiency, and sustainability.
