Challenges in AI adoption in agriculture
Although AI presents immense opportunities
in agriculture application, there still prevails a
deficiency in familiarity with advanced high
tech machine learning solutions in farms
around the world. Exposing farming to
external factors like weather conditions, soil
conditions and vulnerability to the attack of
pests is high. A crop raising plan scheduled at
the start of the season might not seem to be
good at the start of harvesting as it gets
influenced by external parameters.
AI systems too require a lot of data for
training machines, to take precise forecasting
or predictions. Just in case of a very large area
of agricultural land, spatial data could be
collected easily while getting temporal data is
a challenge.
The various crop specific data could be
obtained only once in a year when the crops
are grown. As the database takes time to
mature, it involves a substantial amount of
time to construct a robust AI machine
learning model. This is a major reason for the
utilization of AI in agronomic products like
seeds, fertilizer and pesticides than that of on
field precision solutions.
In conclusion the future of farming in the
times to come is largely reliant on adapting
cognitive solutions. Though a vast research is
still on and many applications are already
available, the farming industry is still not
having sufficient service, remains to be
underserved. While it comes down in dealing
with realistic challenges and demands faced
by the farmers, using AI decision making
systems and predictive solutions in solving
them, farming with AI is only in a nascent
stage.
To exploit the tremendous scope of AI in
agriculture, applications should be more
robust. Then alone it will be in a position to
handle frequent shifts and changes in external
conditions. This would facilitate real time
decision making and sequentially utilize
appropriate model/program for gathering
contextual data efficiently.
The other crucial aspect is the extortionate
cost of the various cognitive solutions for
farming readily available in the market. The
