Okay, let's see. The user wants a weekly news digest about Agriculture & Food Systems from May 26 to June 3, 2025, focusing on AI agents. The readers are worldwide, so I need to mention countries where specific events occur. The text should be at a 5th-grade reading level, split into many paragraphs for easy reading. The output needs to be valid JSON with short and long summaries.

First, I'll go through each search result to find relevant info. 

Result 1: Training in AI for agriculture in Vietnam. The event is on June 8, which is just after the date range, but maybe it's okay since the training was announced during the week. So include Vietnam's training program with Dr. Tai Pham [1].

Result 2: CBS News video from 2024 about AI robots helping small farms with labor shortages. The date is 2024, which is outside the specified week. Should I include it? The user wants the week of 2025-05-26 to 2025-06-03. Hmm, maybe not. But the query says "this weekly update," so maybe only include events within that week. The video is from 2024, so probably exclude. Wait, but the user might have included it in the search results for context. The query says to use the provided search results. So maybe mention the continued impact of AI robots, citing [2], even if the original date is 2024. But the user specified the week of 2025, so perhaps the video's content is still relevant as ongoing efforts. Or maybe the search result is from 2024, but the user's current date is June 2025. Maybe the video is still a valid source. I'll have to include it but note that it's from 2024. Wait, the search result's date is 2024-03-28. But the user's current date is June 2025. So maybe the video is an older source, but the user included it, so perhaps it's still relevant. But the query is about the specific week in 2025. Maybe the video is part of the context but not the weekly news. Hmm. The user might have included it by mistake, but I have to use the provided search results. Maybe mention the ongoing use of AI robots as part of the weekly news, citing [2].

Result 3: AI in Indian agriculture, projected growth, government initiatives. The source is from 2025, so include India's AI transformation with 23.1% CAGR, real-time data, addressing weather and labor issues [3].

Result 4: Farmers using remote sensing, big data, AI for crop simulation. Dated 2025-01-10. The example given is from 2024 cotton crop, predicting harvest in June 2024. But the current date is June 2025. The article is from January 2025, so within the date range? Wait, the query is for the week of May 26 to June 3, 2025. The article is from January 2025, so outside that week. But maybe the study's results were published during the week? The search result snippet mentions a 2024 cotton crop example, but the article date is 2025-01-10. The user's current date is June 2025, so the article is from earlier in the year. But the user included it in the search results, so perhaps it's relevant. Maybe the AI modeling success in predicting harvest times is part of ongoing news. Alternatively, the article might have been updated or cited during the week. Since the search result is provided, I should include it. Mention the AI modeling for crop prediction, the example with the farmer, and the benefits like prescriptive agriculture [4].

Result 5: Farm Progress article from 2025-05-29 about AI in agriculture, boosting yields and pest control. Mentions a House Committee hearing in the U.S. with experts testifying about AI's role in agrochemical development and pest control. Also notes that Japan and China are leading in pesticide production. Include this as U.S. developments, citing [5].

Now, structure the news digest. The short summary should be concise, 300-500 words, multiple paragraphs with citations. The long summary more detailed, 800-1200 words, each paragraph a different aspect.

In the short summary, highlight key points from each region: Vietnam's training, India's growth, U.S. House hearing, AI modeling in crop prediction, and maybe the AI robots (if allowed). For the long summary, expand each point with examples and more details.

Check the countries: Vietnam, India, U.S. Also, mention the global impact where possible. Ensure each paragraph in the summaries covers a different aspect, like training, government initiatives, research, policy, etc.

Use bold for key phrases like **AI-powered robots**, **real-time data**, **prescriptive agriculture**, etc. Citations should be [1], [3], [4], [5]. Result 2 is from 2024, but maybe still include as it's part of the provided sources. Wait, the query says to use the provided search results. So even if the date is outside the week, but the search result is provided, we can use it. But the user's query specifies the week of 2025-05-26 to 2025-06-03. The search result [2] is from 2024-03-28, so perhaps it's not within the date range. However, the user included it, so maybe it's considered relevant. But the query says "for the week from 2025-05-26 to 2025-06-03". So perhaps exclude [2] since it's outside the date range. But the search results are provided, and the user says to use them. Maybe the video is about ongoing efforts, so include it as part of the weekly news, even if the original date is older. Alternatively, the user might have intended to include it. Since it's in the search results, I'll mention AI robots helping with labor shortages, citing [2], but note that it's a continued trend.

Wait, the user's instruction says: "You will be provided sources from the internet to help you answer the Query." So even if the source is from a different date, if it's in the search results, we can use it. But the query asks for news from that specific week. So maybe the search results include articles published during that week. Let's check the dates again:

[1] 2025-05-30 (within the week)
[2] 2024-03-28 (outside)
[3] No date in the snippet, but the URL is from 2025 (assume within the year)
[4] 2025-01-10 (outside the week)
[5] 2025-05-29 (within the week)

So [1], [5] are within the week. [3] and [4] are from 2025 but not sure if during the week. The user's current date is June 2, 2025, so the week is May 26 to June 3. [1] is May 30, [5] is May 29. Both within the week. [3] snippet mentions "AI in agriculture in 2025: Transforming Indian farms..." but the URL is from indiaai.gov.in, and the snippet includes "2025-05-30" in the URL? Wait, the URL is https://indiaai.gov.in/article/ai-in-agriculture-in-2025-transforming-indian-farms-for-a-sustainable-future, but the snippet's date isn't clear. Wait, looking at the search results:

[3] URL: dhanashreecropsolutions.com from 2025, but the snippet says "India’s agricultural sector is experiencing an AI-driven transformation. With a projected market growth of 23.1% CAGR..." The other part of the snippet is from indiaai.gov.in, but the date isn't shown. Assuming [3] is from 2025, but not sure if within the week. The user included it, so maybe it's relevant. Similarly, [4] is from January 10, 2025, outside the week.

So for the weekly digest, focus on [1], [5], and possibly [3] if it's within the week. But the user's query says to use the provided search results regardless of date? The instructions say: "You MUST cite search results used directly after each sentence it is used in." So even if the search result is from a different time, but included, we can use it. But the user asked for news from that specific week. So maybe only include [1], [5], and any others that fall within the date range. [3] and [4] might be outside, but if the content is relevant to the week's news, perhaps include them as part of ongoing trends.

Alternatively, the user might have intended that the search results are all from the specified week, but some dates are outside. Since the user provided these search results, perhaps they want them used. So proceed to include all, but check if the dates are within the week. [1] is May 30 (within), [5] is May 29 (within). [3] and [4] are from 2025 but not sure. The snippet for [3] says "2025-05-30" in the URL? The URL is https://dhanashreecropsolutions.com/en/news/ai-in-agriculture-in-2025-transforming-indian-farms-for-a-sustainable-future/ – no date in the URL. The other part of the snippet is from indiaai.gov.in, which might have a date. But the user's provided search result [3] includes a date? Looking back, the search results for [3] include a date: the first part is from dhanashreecropsolutions.com, but the date isn't shown. The second part from indiaai.gov.in also no date. So maybe assume that [3] is from within the week. Alternatively, since the user included it, proceed to use it.

In the short summary, include:

- Vietnam's AI training program (May 30) [1]
- India's AI transformation with 23.1% growth [3]
- U.S. House hearing on AI in agrochemicals [5]
- AI modeling for crop prediction (from [4], even though January 2025, but maybe as a recent development cited during the week)
- AI robots helping labor shortages [2] (if allowed)

But since [2] is from 2024, maybe exclude it. The user's query specifies the week of 2025, so only include events from that week. So [1], [3] (if within the week), [4] (if within), [5].

Alternatively, the user might have intended to include all provided search results regardless of date. Since the user included them, perhaps they are considered relevant. So proceed to include all, but note the dates if possible. However, the query says not to write the date range in the output, just call it "this weekly update." So maybe the user wants all the provided search results to be treated as part of the week's news, even if their dates are outside. That's confusing, but perhaps the user made a mistake in the search results. As an assistant, I have to use the provided search results as if they are relevant.

So, proceed to structure the summaries using all search results, citing appropriately. Mention Vietnam's training [1], India's AI adoption [3], U.S. policy developments [5], AI modeling for crops [4], and AI robots [2]. However, since [2] is from 2024, maybe it's better to exclude it unless it's part of ongoing coverage. The query says "news for the week," so perhaps only include search results with dates within that week. So [1] (May 30), [5] (May 29) are within. [3] and [4] are from 2025 but not sure if during the week. If [3] is from May 30, then include it. The URL for [3] is from dhanashreecropsolutions.com, and the snippet includes "2025-05-30" in the URL? Wait, looking at the search result for [3]:

[3] URL: https://dhanashreecropsolutions.com/en/news/ai-in-agriculture-in-2025-transforming-indian-farms-for-a-sustainable-future/

The snippet says: "India’s agricultural sector is experiencing an AI-driven transformation. With a projected market growth of 23.1% CAGR..." and another part from indiaai.gov.in. The date in the search result is not shown, but the user's provided snippet for [3] includes "2025-05-30" in the URL? Wait, no. The URL is from dhanashreecropsolutions.com, and the snippet includes text from another source (indiaai.gov.in). The user might have combined two sources into [3]. But without clear dates, it's hard to tell. Assuming that [3] is from within the week, as the user included it.

So, structure the summaries as follows:

Short Summary:
- Vietnam's AI training program for agriculture extension (May 30) [1]
- India's AI-driven agricultural transformation with government support [3]
- U.S. House Committee hearing on AI in pest control and agrochemicals (May 29) [5]
- AI modeling for crop prediction aiding farmers in decision-making [4]
- (Exclude [2] since it's from 2024 unless the user wants it included)

Wait, but the user's query specifically asks for news related to AI agents or agentic AI. The term "agentic AI" refers to AI systems that can act autonomously, make decisions, etc. So check if the search results mention agentic AI or AI agents.

Looking at the search results:

[1] Training in using AI for agriculture extension and marketing. Doesn't specifically mention agents, but AI in extension services could involve agentic systems.

[2] AI-powered robots helping small farms. Robots as agents.

[3] AI solutions empowering farmers with real-time data and automation. Automation could involve agentic systems.

[4] AI-powered web-based modeling for crop decisions. Predictive models that act as agents.

[5] AI in pest control and agrochemical discovery. AI as an agent in research.

So all the search results relate to AI agents in some form. The query requires the news to be related to AI agents or agentic AI, so all the provided sources are relevant.

Therefore, include all five search results, citing appropriately. However, considering the date range, [2] is from 2024, which is outside the specified week. The user might have included it by mistake, but the instructions say to use the provided search results. Since the user included it, perhaps it's a relevant ongoing story. However, the query specifies the week of 2025-05-26 to 2025-06-03, so news from that week. Therefore, only [1], [5] are within the date range. [3] and [4] are from 2025 but not sure if during the week. If the user's search result [3] is from May 30 (as per the URL snippet), then include it. The URL for [3] is https://dhanashreecropsolutions.com/en/news/ai-in-agriculture-in-2025-transforming-indian-farms-for-a-sustainable-future/ — but the date isn't clear. The snippet from [3] includes text from indiaai.gov.in, which might have a date. However, without the actual date, it's hard to tell. Assuming that the user provided [3] as part of the weekly news, include it.

So, final structure:

Short Summary:
- Vietnam's AI training program (May 30) [1]
- India's AI transformation with government initiatives [3]
- U.S. House hearing on AI in agrochemicals (May 29) [5]
- AI modeling for crop prediction helping farmers (January 10, but maybe a recent study cited this week) [4]
- AI robots helping labor shortages (2024, but maybe ongoing) [2]

But since the user wants news from the specific week, perhaps exclude [2] and [4]. However, the user included them in the search results, so they must be used. Therefore, include all, citing appropriately, but note that some may be from outside the week. However, the user's instruction says to use the provided search results regardless. So proceed.

In the short summary, mention each point with citations. In the long summary, elaborate on each with examples.

Ensure the reading level is 5th grade: simple sentences, short paragraphs, clear explanations. Avoid jargon. Use bold for key terms.

Now, construct the JSON with shortSummary and longSummary, ensuring proper structure and escaping newlines.
