Artificial intelligence is changing how farms work around the world. This week brought exciting news about AI helping farmers grow food better and faster.

One major company called Source.ag raised $17.5 million in funding to help greenhouses use AI co-pilots. Their system works like a smart helper for growers, learning about plants and weather, then telling farmers exactly when to water and what to harvest. The system has already been used in over 300 greenhouses across 18 countries, helping grow tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers for 40 million people every day.

Another company named Afresh launched new AI agent technology on November 7th that helps grocery stores manage fresh produce. Their system uses artificial intelligence helpers to automatically make smart decisions about buying, shipping, and storing meat, produce, and bakery items. Instead of people making these choices one by one, AI agents work continuously to reduce waste and keep food fresher longer.

At Georgia Tech University in the United States, students are learning to code by using robots that plant seeds and pull weeds. This project shows how AI and farming are coming together to teach young people. The robots use AI to figure out exactly where to plant seeds to get the best harvest and healthy soil.

The huge farming technology show Agritechnica in Hanover, Germany is showing off the latest AI tools. These include AI pest traps that catch bugs automatically, systems that predict plant diseases before they happen, and smart grain storage. Despite progress, 15 AgTech companies went out of business between April and November 2025 because they couldn't make money fast enough. However, experts say AI farming is still growing strong, with investors putting money into precision agriculture and plant science.
