What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence
in machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans,
enabling them to perform tasks without explicit instructions.
Benefits of AI in Agriculture Supply Chain
Management

1 Optimized Resource Allocation 🌱 2 Enhanced Yield and Quality 🌾

AI can assist in optimizing resource
allocation by analyzing real-time data on
weather patterns, soil conditions, and
crop performance, leading to more
efficient use of resources like water,
fertilizers, and pesticides.
AI-powered tools that monitor plant
health and detect diseases early on can
help prevent crop losses and maintain
high-quality yields.

3 Improved Supply Chain Efficiency 4 Sustainable Practices ♻️
