The Emergence of Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture

Anthem Ag is proud to highlight the work of Amy Wu of  From Farms to Incubators on a special series on AgTech and Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture. 

In California, the beige-colored landscape and brown hills speak volumes about the drought that continues to wreak havoc in the West. Signs reading “Pray for Rain” are commonly seen along the highways that ribbon through the region, including the Central Coast and Central Valley. The upside is that emerging AgTech innovations are rapidly helping to mitigate these difficult environments. Artificial intelligence in agriculture is a fast-emerging smart farming solution that is helping growers tackle farming challenges, including drought and increasing food production amidst unpredictable weather conditions.  

Artificial intelligence is often associated with self-driving cars and Poker playing computers, commonly referred to as AI Technology. Still, farming operations increasingly use it for crop and pest monitoring, predictive analytics, and overall water and farm management. When it comes to agricultural AI, which is an algorithm, it is often incorporated into existing innovations as an adaptation to this industry.
