Exploring IoT applications for agriculture

Next phase of my research is determining which application I could use as base for my respondents to answer questions. While looking for it, I might as well, at the same time build the Google Form questionnaire as planned before. We’re close to get approval from the ethical body, so I expect by January 2024, I could ask for data already.

Challenges in finding appropriate application include finding a cheap or open source solution that could fulfill the basic needs in terms of operation, technical complexity (as cited being one of the problems) and cost that is affordable. My course of action would be, to vet softwares from:

  1. Google search
  2. Google Scholar
  3. Academic research database

I need to get one and analyse before releasing my questionnaire and probably have to host the software on my server and create a video as demonstration. My supervisor also advised me to create a timeline for data collection. I have roughly six months to compile everything from here on. I will update on my findings after I have finished with the software analysis and vetting.
