Abstract
Advancement of human civilization has resulted in depletion of resources and the deterioration of living conditions in certain regions of the world. Human activity on Earth has taken a hostile turn that threatens the existence of species and mankind. Circular agriculture focuses primarily on using minimal external input, closing nutrient cycles, regenerating soils, and minimizing environmental impact. Agriculture chains must be efficient in order to maximize the use of resources and return nutrients to the soil for a sustainable future. AI technology will lead to substantial changes in agricultural practices. The current discussion was explicitly related to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger, as well as other UNSDGs. To generate synergies and effectively manage trade-offs between agriculture, water, energy, land use, and climate change, the international community is urged to increase the number of integrated national and regional decision-making processes.
