How AI Can Help Agribusiness Address Climate Change

Agriculture is at the forefront of climate change. As temperatures, humidity, and rainfall patterns shift, agricultural businesses around the globe -- from family farms to multinational enterprises -- will be tremendously affected, whether through soil chemistry, insect migration, or other factors threatening crop quality and yields. To prepare, agribusinesses need to understand the potential impact on their land and crops. For every agricultural enterprise, from farmers to vineyards to producers of seeds, animal feed, or biofuels, knowing the potential changes in yield coming down the road -- along with the drivers of those changes -- could allow them to optimize their agricultural practices, making them more adaptable and resilient. In addition, knowing the drivers of crop quality would help them improve profits and increase their ability to anticipate the need for crop conversion.
