A Systematic Review of Cloud-based Mobile Pisciculture Farming Readiness Factors: A Path Towards Alleviating Unemployment in Developing Countries

Abstract

This paper systematically reviews the readiness factors crucial for adopting cloud-based mobile farming IoT systems in the pisciculture sector of developing countries. It explores the readiness factors that must be considered for adopting a cloud-based mobile farming IoT system in the pisciculture sector of developing countries. The study synthesizes findings from over 40 selected articles, highlighting key factors such as the need for robust technological infrastructure, including reliable internet connectivity and mobile networks. It also underscores the importance of capacity building through education and training for farmers, ensuring they can effectively use these technologies. Institutional support from governments and NGOs, access to funding, and alignment of technologies with local cultures and practices are identified as essential. The study also emphasizes the necessity of developing clear regulatory frameworks to address data security and privacy concerns. This research provides readiness factors that can guide the successful adoption of cloud-based mobile farming IoT systems, which could significantly contribute to economic growth and reduce unemployment in the aquaculture sector of developing countries. Based on the limitations of the methodology adopted in this study, this study proposes that additional research should focus on developing a model based on the identified factors and test the hypothesized theories, as well as scope down into more specific research areas.
