The Artificial Intelligence for Future Agricultural Resilience, Management, and Sustainability Institute will serve as a nexus for multidisciplinary research teams that advance foundational AI and use these advances to address important challenges facing world agriculture. It will put strong emphasis on technologies that impact production practices, on developing a diverse technically skilled workforce in digital agriculture, and on supporting women and minority farmers.
Our research covers:
- Autonomous farming,
- Efficiency for livestock operations
- Environmental resilience,
- Soil health
- Technology adoption
Read more about our thrusts to learn how we’re advancing artificial intelligence in agriculture.
The AIFARMS Institute project is led by the Center for Digital Agriculture.
