Abstract
Agriculture is facing increasing challenges due to several factors such as population growth and climate change. Smart Farming is enabling the use of detailed digital information to guide decisions along the agricultural value chain. New technologies and solutions have been applied to provide alternatives to assist in information gathering and processing, and thereby contribute to increased agricultural productivity. Thus, the main objective of this article is to present a bibliometric analysis regarding digitalization and Big Data applications in Smart Farming. A total of 2401 articles were found and, based on ProKnow-C methodology criteria, thirty-nine publications were selected and analysed. Furthermore, the main solutions and opportunities about the topic were recognized aiming to direct future research.
