Ag-Tech Days #3: AI in Agriculture

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming agriculture by improving productivity, sustainability, and efficiency. Its applications include pest identification, soil health monitoring, and autonomous equipment optimizing resource use. AI-driven irrigation systems track soil moisture and weather forecasts to optimize water use, saving water and boosting crop yields. Similarly, AI precision feeding systems analyze animal needs to enhance nutrition, reduce waste, and improve efficiency. These advancements highlight AI’s role in promoting sustainable practices and resource efficiency in modern agriculture.

Adopting new technologies, especially AI, presents challenges such as a shortage of skilled professionals, high initial investments, and concerns about data security, privacy, and ethics. The upcoming session will address these issues by featuring pioneers in the field.
