A Survey on the Opportunities of Blockchain and UAVs in Agriculture

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and blockchain Technologies are relevant systems that have a significant performance in numerous sectors. In particular, applying these emerging technologies will affect positively the agricultural ecosystem. In this paper, we investigate the opportunities offered by UAV s and blockchain (BC) in the agricultural sector. We review recent research efforts in the subject with a synthesis illustrated by a classification table. Finally, open challenges and future directions for IoT-based agriculture applications are discussed.
