Leveraging artificial intelligence in agribusiness: a structured review of strategic management practices and future prospects

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a structured review of the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in agribusiness, emphasizing its transformative impact on farming practices. By integrating AI technologies such as machine learning, robotics, and data analytics, AI enhances productivity, sustainability, and profitability in agriculture. The paper explores key AI-driven advancements in precision agriculture, resource management, and supply chain optimization, which allow for real-time monitoring and informed decision-making. Additionally, the research discusses the ethical challenges and barriers to AI adoption, particularly in smallholder farming and developing economies. It also identifies emerging trends, such as the integration of AI with blockchain and biotechnology, to further optimize agricultural processes. The paper concludes with recommendations for advancing AI adoption, addressing data privacy concerns, and fostering inclusive, sustainable farming practices to ensure long-term resilience and food security in the agricultural sector.
