Abstract

The population is expected to grow rapidly and reach 10 billion people by the year 2050. As a result, there will be a greater need for food. The conventional techniques employed by the farmers proved insufficient to meet these demands. For this, new automated techniques were unveiled. Along with other cutting-edge computer science applications, farming has long made use of technologies like artificial intelligence. The focus has shifted in recent years to consider the applications of this new technology. A significant percentage of humanity's nutrition has come from agriculture for thousands of years, with the most significant contribution being the broad adoption of efficient farming techniques for a variety of crops. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture has sparked a revolution in the field, and AI technology has made the agro-based commercial sector operate more profitably. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have the power to transform the future and address problems. This will make it easier for farmers to learn about climate variance and pests that lower crops. The use of AI focuses on identifying damaged crops and enhancing the ability of healthy crops to provide higher yields. This paper gives a thorough analysis of AI models used in agricultural applications. It also examines the use of AI models to specify sustainable goals. This article explores the challenges and opportunities for utilizing AI to develop future generations of sustainable agriculture through this comprehensive review.
