Abstract

Effectively feeding a burgeoning world population is one of the main goals of sustainable agricultural practices. Digital technology, such as edge artificial intelligence (AI), has the potential to introduce substantial benefits to agriculture by enhancing farming practices that can improve agricultural production efficiency, yield, quality and safety. However, the adoption of edge AI faces several challenges, including the need for innovative and efficient edge AI solutions and greater investment in infrastructure and training, all compounded by various environmental, social and economic constraints. Here we provide a roadmap for leveraging edge AI at the intersection of food production and sustainability. Digital technology is increasingly being used to address food security issues against the backdrop of anthropogenic stressors such as climate change and resource scarcity. This Perspective discusses ways to effectively deploy edge AI in food production systems to improve agricultural sustainability.

利用边缘人工智能促进可持续农业

有效养活不断增长的世界人口是可持续农业实践的主要目标之一。边缘人工智能（AI）等数字技术有可能通过改进耕作方式，提高农业生产效率、产量、质量和安全，从而为农业带来巨大效益。然而，边缘人工智能的应用面临着一些挑战，包括需要创新、高效的边缘人工智能解决方案，需要加大对基础设施和培训的投资，所有这些都受到各种环境、社会和经济制约因素的影响。在此，我们为在粮食生产与可持续发展的交叉领域利用边缘人工智能提供了一个路线图。在气候变化和资源匮乏等人为压力的背景下，数字技术正越来越多地被用于解决粮食安全问题。本视角探讨了在粮食生产系统中有效部署边缘人工智能以提高农业可持续性的方法。
