This week brought exciting developments in AI-driven agriculture worldwide.

In the United States, Extension agents from North Carolina learned how AI tools can help farmers manage crops better. They practiced using smart systems to predict weather and spot plant diseases early. Meanwhile, experts told Congress that America needs to invest more in agricultural AI to stay ahead in global food production.

New automated irrigation systems are making farming easier in desert areas. These systems replace manual water valve work, which is dangerous in extreme heat. Scientists say sharing farm data openly will be key for future innovations, helping farmers everywhere grow more food with less waste.

Satellites and AI weather predictions are becoming vital tools. A workshop in Maryland showed how combining space technology with smart computers helps farms prepare for climate changes like droughts. Livestock monitoring also improved this week, with AI cameras checking animal health and food needs daily.

Young farmers are getting new tech like drones and robots to make their jobs safer and more fun. This could help keep the next generation working on family farms instead of leaving. Companies are now using AI to track food shipments better, reducing spoilage and ensuring fresher produce reaches stores.
