It is a smart Era, Artificial Intelligent is now a key player in the survival of Humanity. One of the uttermost importance of A.I is the solution it brings to crops and food production crisis in Agriculture in many developed and developing nations changing the decades old impact on the continents.

Any Country i Starvation, without proper meals/nourishment would in no capacity be healthy enough to function and be creative/productive. An age old wise sayings goes thus;

Take away hunger from poverty, then poverty is half done!

A very hard chore it is in all developing countries of the World, where getting a good meal is the number one problem seconded by a good source of water. Even though there had been food aids to many of this regions over the years, still the problem lingers much longer than envisaged. One of the game changer was Advanced Mechanized farming, which is one of the tools to solving food securities threats in many Countries of the World, although it comes with huge prices to be paid in terms of Energy and production costs.

Further amazing innovations had surfaced, Mechanized or Robotic farming all have a new twist thanks to Artificial Intelligent. Many of this amazing technologies could be remotely monitored and controlled(Drones) which in turn produces bountiful Crop and grains.

Another breakthrough is the Vertical Farming, a process that maximize space through a system of farming in a controlled environment- Artificial Intelligent has been used to optimize this system of farming process from cultivating to harvesting of the produce which results in less air pollution(Reduction in high emission of CO2 which constitute to Global warming). The manpower challenges of spraying herbicides, application of manures/fertilizers, pruning etc is all eradicated in this system.

Vertical Farming

Biotechnology also had helped created hybrid seeds, crops which are immune to drought and extreme weather conditions and also diseases resistance animals all could be associated to A.I. It is "in lieu" of conventional farming/Food production practices which is faced with several challenges that A.I in Agriculture came to remedy most of this problems facing 3rd World Nations.

This is welcoming. .......even though I'm not a big fan of AI. Skeptical about them

If it serves the purpose helping mankind, i won't mind too

Long live biotechnology

I'm not a fan of hybrid foods or farming but believe that AI if used positively can assist with crop production I prefer organic farming.

making farming easier
i believe there is still more to technology to farming
never heard of vertical farming
thanks for the info
