Why we need to leverage AI to address global food insecurity
Briefly

The article discusses the pivotal role of international food trade in addressing global food insecurity, while also highlighting the limitations and environmental concerns associated with it. With an impending population increase, farmers must boost food production on existing farmland. AI emerges as a possible solution, offering insights into crop management and pest control, amidst growing difficulties like climate change and pest resistance. Farmers are losing a significant portion of their crops annually, and AI can help farmers overcome these challenges by providing data-driven solutions for improved agricultural practices.
AI can help with on-field tasks like monitoring crops, predicting pest outbreaks, and optimizing resource use, fundamentally transforming how farmers approach food production.
With the global population expected to rise significantly, farmers must adapt by producing more food, ideally with the help of innovative technologies like AI.
