Abstract
As the global agricultural landscape faces unprecedented challenges driven by climate change, population growth, and shifting consumer demands, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions to ensure food security and sustainable agricultural practices. This paper explores the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in reshaping how agricultural information is developed, disseminated, and utilized to enhance service delivery. AI-powered technologies, including machine learning, data analytics, and automation, are revolutionizing agriculture by providing real-time insights, optimizing resource allocation, and improving decision-making for farmers, policymakers, and stakeholders across the agricultural value chain. This research delves into the multifaceted applications of AI in agriculture, the benefits it offers, and the challenges that must be addressed to harness its full potential. It also emphasizes the importance of collaboration and teamwork among AI developers, researchers, farmers, and information providers to navigate this paradigm shift successfully and create a more resilient and sustainable agricultural future.
