Artificial intelligence adoption transforms farming practices globally

Farmers around the world are using artificial intelligence and smart sensors to grow food more efficiently. Countries including Thailand and Japan have already adopted these tools. In Japan, a three-year project starting in 2020 showed that farmers could receive growing instructions remotely using AI. Currently, farm management software makes up 35% of AI use in agriculture, while weather forecasting accounts for 20%. Precision farming and water monitoring each represent 16%. Traditional field farming still holds the largest share of the market at 61.5%. Smartphones have made it easier for farmers to access crop monitoring apps. Developers are also working on AI robots that can plant crops and control pests.
