1087. Using AI for Global Food Security

With so many people still starving and undernourished, solving the complex problems of food security is a daunting challenge that requires a paradigm shift in the agri-food sector.

In recent years, there has been a growing expectation for artificial intelligence (AI) in the agri-food sector as well. The paper, published in the journal Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture, highlights the potential of AI to fundamentally change the way food is produced, distributed, and managed, ensuring food security and a sustainable future.

AI technologies can optimize crop cultivation practices and facilitate the use of predictive models and precision agriculture techniques, enabling crop monitoring and effective prediction of diseases. In addition, AI is expected to contribute to the optimization of supply chain operations, inventory management, transportation systems, and quality control processes. There are also growing expectations for post-harvest loss reduction, predictive analysis, and smart inventory management to solve food loss and waste problems.
