Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in addressing the challenges of climate change and food security (FS). The current state of FS in China is evaluated from the perspectives of consumption and production. Six machine learning models are employed to explore the relationship among climate change, AI level and FS. A novel FS prediction model is proposed based on RIME-CNN-LSTM-ATT algorithm to predict FS trends under multiple scenarios. The results reveal that: The SHAP values of AI are all positive, indicating the significant potential of AI in enhancing FS. In major grain-producing region, temperature accounts for 58.6 % of the influence on FS, representing the primary driver. Rainfall and sunshine are identified as the main threats to FS in grain producing-consuming balance area. Under the baseline, SSP1+RCP2.6, and SSP2+RCP4.5 scenarios, China’s overall FS level will increase 2.30 %, 2.93 %, and 2.37 % by 2035, respectively, but decline by 6.68 % under SSP5+RCP8.5.
期刊介绍:
The journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling welcomes contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal prioritizes understanding the transformation processes crucial for transitioning toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. It highlights technological, economic, institutional, and policy aspects related to specific resource management practices such as conservation, recycling, and resource substitution, as well as broader strategies like improving resource productivity and restructuring production and consumption patterns.
Contributions may address regional, national, or international scales and can range from individual resources or technologies to entire sectors or systems. Authors are encouraged to explore scientific and methodological issues alongside practical, environmental, and economic implications. However, manuscripts focusing solely on laboratory experiments without discussing their broader implications will not be considered for publication in the journal.
