The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Portuguese Agriculture

Abstract:

If on the one hand the world population is increasing rapidly, on the other hand, the area of arable land is increasingly smaller, the climatic conditions are increasingly unstable, water resources are scarce, and diseases and pests are less controllable. This research work refers to different techniques for automating agricultural processes based on artificial intelligence (AI). This manuscript analyzes several research works with the objective of obtaining an empirical overview of the latest technological advances in the field of AI, also referring to the main impacts of these solutions on agriculture and their context with Portuguese agriculture. The research carried out demonstrates the existing need to optimize the efficiency of agricultural processes, making them more sustainable, ecological, economic, and healthy.
