The World Bank, which has long fostered more productive agriculture in poorer nations, has published a report on how artificial intelligence (AI) can be harnessed to improve agriculture.
AI is a timely and powerful tool that could help reimagine agricultural transformation in ways that are more productive, sustainable, and inclusive. This report presents a comprehensive and development-oriented analysis of how AI can be responsibly deployed across agrifood systems, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It moves beyond hype to deliver a grounded roadmap of applications, prerequisites, and investment priorities, while emphasizing ethical, inclusive, and scalable use.
