AI is revolutionizing agriculture by enhancing efficiency and sustainability. Through precision farming, AI analyzes data on soil, weather, and crops to optimize planting, watering, and fertilizing, reducing waste and increasing yields. It also aids in livestock management with sensors that track animal health and behavior. AI helps combat pests and diseases by identifying threats early, enabling targeted solutions. Additionally, smart machinery like drones and autonomous tractors streamlines farm operations. While the high cost and data requirements present challenges, AI holds great potential for making farming smarter and more profitable.
