Abstract
Agriculture plays a crucial role in addressing global challenges such as food security, resource scarcity, and climate change. As the world population continues to grow, the need for sustainable and efficient farming practices becomes paramount. This chapter aims to explore the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in agricultural sustainability, focusing on how AI technologies can enhance efficiency and resilience in agricultural practices. The chapter provides an overview of the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AI into agriculture, highlighting specific use cases, and discussing the implications for sustainable farming systems. It also examines the role of AI in addressing key sustainability issues including resource management, yield optimization, pest control, and adaptation to environmental conditions. By examining current trends and advancements in AI for agriculture, this chapter contributes to a comprehensive understanding of how AI can revolutionize farming practices and promote sustainable agricultural systems.
