This weekly update highlights how agentic AI is revolutionizing agriculture and food systems around the world. Agentic AI refers to intelligent computer systems that can make decisions and take actions on their own, without waiting for humans to tell them what to do each time.

In the United States, major companies like PepsiCo and Walmart are using AI technology called Cropin to watch their farms and food supply chains. For example, PepsiCo's Lay's potato farms in Asia now use smart satellites and cameras to check on crops every single day, which helps farmers know exactly when to water plants or watch out for diseases. Walmart is using similar AI tools to predict how much food will grow and avoid problems caused by weather or global issues.

Argentina's YPF energy company launched a new platform called Digital Suppl.AI that uses 46 different AI agents to manage buying things, keeping track of supplies, and working with sellers. These AI agents work like invisible team members that handle routine tasks much faster than people can.

In the Netherlands, a large flower auction called Plantion is rebuilding its computer system using AI to handle complex flower and plant sales every day. AI is helping them understand old computer code that nobody had written down properly.

The food and agriculture industry is moving past simple AI tools to something much more powerful: agentic systems that think and solve problems the way smart workers do. Companies using agentic AI early are already seeing huge benefits, with some cutting their costs by over 20 percent and speeding up their work by 100 times faster than before. These systems handle tasks like checking fields for diseases, predicting prices, and planning which crops to grow where.
