Unlock the potential of AI across the agricultural value chain.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how we grow, move, process, and protect our food. This concise, business-focused guide explores the practical ways AI is being applied across the agriculture and food production landscape-providing a clear and accessible overview for professionals, strategists, and decision-makers working at the intersection of technology and the food economy.
From precision crop monitoring using drone imagery and satellite data to fully automated farming systems powered by machine learning, the technologies covered in this book are not theoretical-they're already here. You'll discover how AI is improving livestock health and welfare, enabling climate-aware farming practices, and helping optimise everything from irrigation and fertiliser use to harvest planning and disease detection.
Beyond the farm gate, AI is also transforming how food moves through the supply chain-enhancing traceability, reducing waste, and improving safety and quality standards. You'll learn how data platforms and predictive models are being used to support real-time decision-making in logistics, policy, sustainability, and commercial agribusiness.
Whether you're an agricultural professional, technology leader, sustainability consultant, policymaker, or simply someone looking to understand the role of AI in food systems, this book offers grounded, real-world insights. Each chapter focuses on a distinct area-from food safety to regenerative agriculture-making it a useful reference for both high-level briefings and operational exploration.
Inside you'll find:
Practical applications of AI in agriculture and food production
Insights into emerging trends and real-world use cases
Clear explanations without technical jargon
Sector-relevant examples across crop, livestock, supply chain, and food processing domains
Part of the AI Awareness Series - a collection of focused briefings designed to help professionals in every sector understand the practical, business-relevant impact of artificial intelligence. No hype. Just clear, usable insight.
