  Human population growth has driven rising demand for food that has, in turn,
imposed huge impacts on the environment. In an effort to reconcile our need to
produce more sustenance while also protecting the ecosystems of the world,
farming is becoming more reliant on smart tools and communication technologies.
Developing a smart farming framework allows farmers to make more efficient use
of inputs, thus protecting water quality and biodiversity habitat. Internet of
Things (IoT), which has revolutionized every sphere of the economy, is being
applied to agriculture by connecting on-farm devices and providing real-time
monitoring of everything from environmental conditions to market signals
through to animal health data. However, utilizing IoT means farming networks
are now vulnerable to malicious activities, mostly when wireless communications
are highly employed. With that in mind, this research aims to review different
utilized communication technologies in smart farming. Moreover, possible cyber
attacks are investigated to discover the vulnerabilities of communication
technologies considering the most frequent cyber-attacks that have been
happened.
