Abstract

Digital twin technology is expected to transform agriculture. By creating the virtual representation of a physical entity, it assists food producers in monitoring, predicting, and optimizing the production process remotely and even autonomously. However, the progress in this area is relatively slower than in industries like manufacturing. A systematic investigation of agricultural digital twins’ current status and progress is imperative. With seventy published papers, this work elaborated on the studies targeting agricultural digital twins from overall trends, focused areas (including domains, processes, and topics), reference architectures, and open questions, which could help scholars examine their research agenda and support the further development of digital twins in agriculture.
