Abstract

The chapter explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing precision agriculture, focusing on data-driven, adaptive, and efficient practices. It traces the evolution of AI-integrated digital farming systems, including GNSS, drones, sensors, and IoT technologies. Key AI applications include crop classification, yield forecasting, pest detection, irrigation scheduling, and nutrient management. The chapter also discusses technologies like UAVs, hyperspectral imaging, edge computing, and cloud-based platforms for improved farm-level decision-making. The chapter discusses the potential of AI in large-scale and smallholder farming systems but also highlights challenges like heterogeneous data, economic barriers, limited digital literacy, and low adoption among smallholder farmers. The chapter discusses future opportunities in AI-integrated robotics, blockchain-based supply chains, and big data analytics for climate-resilient agriculture and calls for inclusive policy reforms, capacity-building initiatives, and collaborative innovation for equitable scale.
