This week saw major AI advancements in agriculture worldwide. In Vietnam, a training program starting June 8 will teach farmers to use AI tools for crop management and marketing communication. India's farms are using AI-powered data analysis to predict weather patterns and automate irrigation, helping address labor shortages.

US scientists reported success with AI crop simulation models that helped farmers avoid $70/acre losses by accurately predicting harvest times. At a Congressional hearing, experts warned America is falling behind Japan and China in developing AI-driven pesticides, urging more government support for research.

Small farms globally are adopting AI robot workers for planting and harvesting tasks, with systems becoming 40% cheaper since 2024. These robots now handle delicate crops like strawberries without bruising them.
