PRECISION FARMING TECHNOLOGIES ADOPTION: A STATE OF THE ART SURVEY
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to identify the state of the art of scientific publications related to Precision Farming (PF). In particular, we sought to identify studies focused on understanding which factors may influence farmers' decision to adopt PF technologies. Thus, we systematically reviewed the researched content to quantitatively and qualitatively map the results. The searched databases included Web of Sciences and Scopus. The descriptors used included precision agriculture AND adoption and precicion farming AND adoption, tabulated in the StArt tool and Microsoft Excel. Among the 55 studies selected for bibliometric analysis, 26 were eligible to undergo content analysis. Results show that the number of studies on the topic has grown each year, peaking in 2020, with 17 published studies. Then, there was a slight decline in 2021, with 14 studies. Furthermore, we identified two major authorship and co-authorship networks. One with 18 researchers and the other with 20, evidencing the sharing of researchers' knowledge and experiences to understand farmers' perceptions regarding PF adoption. After the analysis, we pointed out two large research groups dedicated to studying PF adoption, which combined have 33 researchers and after reading through the full texts we found that only three articles used some theory as a basis for understanding PF adoption.
