Agriculture & Food Systems Weekly AI News
November 24 - December 2, 2025This week's agriculture news shows exciting changes happening in how farms use technology. Venture capitalists (people who invest money in new companies) are putting lots of money into AI and robotics for farming. In the third quarter of 2025, investors gave $1.3 billion to agriculture technology companies, with robotics and animal farming getting the most attention. However, investors are being more careful now and focusing on companies that seem safer rather than brand new startups. This means new farm companies are having a harder time getting money to start.
Meanwhile, South Korea is creating a smart computer system just for farm products. This system will launch in 2026 and will check farm product prices in real time to help both farmers and shoppers make better choices. The system started its first tests in late 2025. South Korea is doing this as part of a bigger plan to use more artificial intelligence in government services. Even though the farming industry is changing quickly because of AI, experts say there are still challenges to solve. Many people want to understand better how AI can really help farms grow more food.
