Review on the Trends and Challenges of Cloud Computing Technology in Climate - Smart Agriculture

Climate-Smart Agriculture is an approach for guiding actions required to help stakeholders around the world, identify and develop strategies in order to make agriculture more productive and sustainable. Cloud computing, as a trend of future information technology applied in various fields, may play a significant role in agricultural informatization by bringing some new prospects to information management and service. Evolving cloud computing technology in agriculture is an extensive opportunity to carry out industry agricultural applications aiming in the development of services in rural areas. Agriculture, and especially climate-smart agriculture, is a field which is benefited with the applications of cloud computing with regard to resources sharing, cost saving and efficient agro systems construction. The purpose of this survey is to examine the technological background of cloud computing, as well as to review its applications in agricultural informatization, focusing particularly on the trends and challenges regarding the field of climate-smart agriculture.
