Key AI milestones in agriculture

● In April 2021, India and the United States launched the Us-india Artificial Intelligence (USIAI) Initiative through the Indo-u.s. Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF), a jointly funded autonomous organisation. This initiative enables India to leverage American AI technology to enhance food grain production in agriculture.

● In June 2022, Israel initiated a strategic endeavour to integrate satellite technology and AI into agriculture. In collaboration with the Israel Space Agency, a satellite will be deployed to map agricultural regions and identify suitable areas for crop cultivation.

● In December 2023, China unveiled its first vertical plant factory in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, developed by the Institute of Urban Agriculture (IUA) at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS). This innovative system employs Ai-driven robots for efficient lettuce growth and harvesting, in just 35 days.
