AI and the environment - Sustainable Farming

SustainableFarming

AI can help farmers use water and pesticides more efficiently. Drones and sensors can gather data on crops, and AI can tell the farmer exactly how much water or fertiliser to use and where, reducing waste and protecting the soil. This has led to some farms reducing their water usage by up to 25% through the use of AI-powered smart irrigation systems, while boosting crop yields by 20-30%

So as we’ve seen, AI is transforming how people live and interact—but it’s important to understand and manage its environmental impacts so the technology can benefit the planet and its people responsibly.
