Abstract

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in agriculture has created unprecedented opportunities for enhancing both security and productivity, while simultaneously introducing complex challenges that span cyber, physical, and operational domains. This systematic literature review examines the bidirectional relationship between security measures and productivity outcomes in IoT-enabled agriculture. Following the customize PRISMA guidelines and systematic review methodology [1], this study synthesizes findings from 32 peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2025, sourced from major academic databases with an initial population of 401 studies. The review addresses three research questions. Key findings reveal that security frameworks achieve 92-99% effectiveness in intrusion detection, authentication, and data integrity, while productivity gains include 20-35% yield improvement, 30-50% water savings, and 15-25% reduction in harvest time. The analysis demonstrates a strong positive correlation between security and productivity: secure IoT systems enhance operational continuity, decision-making accuracy, and stakeholder trust, directly contributing to productivity gains. However, significant research gaps persist in integrated physical-cyber security frameworks, real-world validation, and standardized metrics for security-productivity correlation. This review provides a comprehensive foundation for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working toward resilient, secure, and productive IoT-enabled agricultural systems aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger).
