Towards digital agriculture: Expanding on the AI and IoT paradigm | Webinar
0Achieving “zero hunger” is shared a global commitment, which encompasses the aim to build sustainable climate-resilient agriculture systems to curb food insecurity and malnutrition.
Digital technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), hold the potential to revolutionize agriculture and food production cycles, with the promise to increase yield, ensure environmental sustainability, and prevent or reduce food loss and waste.
This AI for Good webinar will explore the rise of “digital agriculture” and its role in supporting systems that ensure greater food security, inclusivity, profitability, and overall environmental sustainability through optimized resource usage. Technologies using AI and IoT solutions, along with digital twins, robots and drones have transformed the agro-based systems through improved real-time harvesting, traceability, and monitoring of various important parameters such as soil moisture, weed detection, yield quantity, and crop quality.
