Harnessing Sustainable Agriculture Through Climate-Smart Technologies

Abstract

Climate-smart technologies emerge as the nexus where sustainable agriculture and AI converge. These technologies encompass a wide array of solutions that harness AI to make agriculture more resilient in the face of climatic challenges. Through sensor networks, remote sensing, and data analytics, farmers can access real-time weather information, monitor soil conditions, and optimize crop management practices. This chapter meticulously dissects the hurdles posed by data privacy concerns, access to technology, and calls for collaborative efforts among governments, the private sector, and civil society to overcome these challenges and ensure that the benefits of AI-powered agriculture are equitably distributed. This chapter embarks on a profound exploration of the intersection between agriculture, climate change, and cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. It delves into the imperative of sustainable agriculture, the role of AI in climate preservation, and the futuristic trends that promise to reshape our approach to food production in an era of climate uncertainty.
