The agro-industrial sector consumes a significant amount of natural resources for farming and meat production. By 2050, population growth is expected, generating more demand and, consequently, more consumption of scarce resources. This challenging scenario is a concern of the European Commission, revealed in the Green Deal commitment and by the United Nations’ 12th goal of sustainable development. Thus, organizations must increase productivity and be more sustainable as soon as possible. Internet of Things (IoT) is introduced as a solution to facilitate agro-food companies to be more eco-efficient, mainly facing difficulties on farms, such as food loss and waste, best efficiency in management of resources, and production. The deployment of this technology depends on the stage of maturity and potential of implementation. To assess and characterize companies, with respect of IoT implementation, a survey was applied in 21 micro, small and medium agro-food companies, belonging to milk, honey, olive oil, jams, fruticulture, bakery and pastry, meat, coffee, and wine sectors, in the central region of Portugal. As results, this paper reveals the stage of maturity, level of sophistication, potential, opportunities, solutions, and barriers for implementation of IoT. Additionally, suggestions and recommendations to improve practices are discussed.

We live in complex times in the health, social, political, and energy spheres, and we must be aware of and implement new trends in intelligent social health systems powered by the Internet of Things (IoT). Sustainable development, energy efficiency, and public health are interrelated parameters that can transform a system or an environment for the benefit of people and the planet. The integration of sensors and smart devices should promote energy efficiency and ensure that sustainable development goals are met. This work is carried out according to a mixed approach, with a literature review and an analysis of the impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on the applications of the Internet of Things and smart systems. In the analysis of results, the following questions are answered about these systems and applications: (a) Are IoT applications key to the improvement of people’s health and the environment? (b) Are there research and case studies implemented in cities or territories that demonstrate the effectiveness of IoT applications and their benefits to public health? (c) What sustainable development indicators and objectives can be assessed in the applications and projects analyzed?

The 5th International Conference of Agroindustry and Bio-economy (ICGAB) 2021 has been successfully carried out virtually, and the IOP Conference Proceeding Series: Earth and Environmental Science has been completed. It was the second time for ICGAB to be conducted virtually amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has been hitting us for about two years, and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia has not removed the travel restriction and physical distancing policy. However, information technology helps us bridge the distance and overcome the physical restriction. Therefore, the committee decided to hold the conference virtually to provide forums for the students, academics, researchers, and professionals to disseminate their research despite the pandemic condition. Last year ICGAB successfully addressed the emerging technologies and the integrated information system for sustainable agroindustry. Such technology, innovation and information system are becoming critical for shifting agroindustry from conventional practices to be more sustainable. Therefore, Indonesia needs to strive, adapt and integrate the information system in agroindustry by implementing the internet of things (IoT) towards agroindustry 4.0. Such approaches may create opportunities for expanding sustainable agroindustry as well as to achieve food security. Thus, the current ICGAB topic is “Implementation of IoT to achieve Food Security and Green Agroindustry”. The 5th ICGAB 2021 aimed to communicate and disseminate research experiences, technology innovation, research and technology advances, and case studies related to implementing the internet of things (IoT) to achieve food security and green agroindustry. Since 2017, ICGAB has been successfully attracting more than 1100 participants from various countries. This year, the Faculty of Agricultural Technology Universitas Brawijaya (FAT UB) organised ICGAB virtually on 6-7 July 2021. The conference was managed in Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, East Java, Indonesia, using a virtual reality stage and Zoom platform. The distinguished keynote speakers for the plenary session were Prof. Naoshi Kondo from Kyoto University, Japan; Prof. Indrawati Oey from The University of Otago, New Zealand; Assoc. Prof. Young Hoon Jung from Kyungpook National University, Korea; and Dr. Irnia Nurika from Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia.

The main vision of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to enable seamless connection between physical devices and information systems to improve the lives of people. One of the main obstacles to achieve this vision is the current lack of IoT interoperability. In this article, the authors are giving an overview on how semantics is used in IoT interoperability related research. To do this, they performed a systematic literature review and extracted data from 105 selected primary studies dealing with semantics in IoT interoperability. The authors have analysed the maturity level of this research field and when and where the relevant works were published. This article answers five main research questions about the following issues: what are semantics used for; what types of ontologies exist (which are used to give semantical descriptions); what are the main themes and suggestions for future work in these research articles; and what are other related areas.
