Chapter Chapter 12 in Transforming Agriculture through Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Food Systems, 2025, pp 201-212 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing agriculture by significantly enhancing efficiency and productivity for sustainable agriculture. AI technologies with precision help in cultivating healthier crops, optimize planting schedules, select suitable seeds based on weather conditions, provide weather forecasts, pest control, soil monitoring and data analysis for farmers. AI-powered solutions improve crop quality, increase yields with fewer resources, and speed up market delivery. By providing professional knowledge and analytical tools, AI can support better agriculture, increase productivity and reduce waste in the production of vegetables, rice and biofuels, while also reducing environmental impact. However, the benefits are counteracting by considerable constraints. Agriculture AI integration presents numerous challenges, including the need for high-quality data, technological infrastructure, exclusion of women and marginalised communities, ethical concerns related to data privacy and job displacement. This chapter examines AI’s role in agriculture, detailing its applications and benefits, and highlights the challenges and future potential of AI in farming.
