Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning & Robotics in Agriculture

According to estimates by the United Nations, the World will need to increase its food production by 70% to feed the ever burgeoning population by 2050.

Rapid urbanization in some of the emerging Nations is increasingly putting pressure on the availability for cultivable land. Farmers, small business owners, researchers, corporate partners, non-profit organizations, educators, community organizers, innovators and all other stakeholders of the global food system are therefore talking about technology-intensive agriculture. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics, Computer Vision and a host of disruptive technologies are all set to bring about a revolution in agriculture sector. This report highlights the ability of these technologies to protect crop yield from various factors like the climate changes, population growth, employment issues and the food security problems. It also provides an overview of the important players engaged in redefining the agri sector through R&D based application of the technologies.
