ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN AGRICULTURE: A REVIEW OF CURRENT APPLICATIONS AND FUTURE TRENDS

Abstract

The agriculture sector is undergoing a rapid transformation thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), which has applications in a variety of fields, including food safety and crop productivity. AI-powered tools can assist farmers in increasing crop yields, lowering input costs, and making better business decisions. Precision agriculture is one of the most exciting uses of AI in agriculture. Data analytics are used in precision agriculture to improve farming techniques like insect control, fertilization, and irrigation. AI-enabled sensors may gather information on crop health, soil moisture, and weather patterns, which can then be utilized to provide specific recommendations for each field. Farmers may benefit from this by wasting less and working more effectively. The management of cattle is a further area where AI is having a substantial impact. Robots with artificial intelligence (AI) can feed chicks, milk cows, and gather information about animal health. The spread of disease can be stopped by using this information to spot sick animals as soon as possible. Additionally, AI is being utilized to enhance food safety and create new food products. Foodborne infections in food products can be detected using AI-powered picture recognition technologies. This could assist in ensuring consumer food safety.
