The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Sustainable Agriculture: A Pathway Toward Food Security and Environmental Stewardship
Abstract: Sustainable agriculture is imperative in an era of climate change, rising global population, and environmental degradation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a transformative tool in modernizing agriculture by enhancing productivity, reducing resource usage, and supporting data-driven decisions. This paper explores the multifaceted role of AI in promoting sustainable agricultural practices, encompassing crop monitoring, precision farming, climate-smart solutions, and supply chain optimization. Through case studies, technological frameworks, and policy analysis, the paper critically evaluates the integration of AI in agriculture and outlines challenges and recommendations for inclusive, ethical, and scalable implementation. 1. Introduction Agriculture lies at the heart of global food security but is under unprecedented strain from population growth, climate change, soil degradation, and water scarcity. The concept of sustainable agriculture focuses on meeting...
