Third International Workshop
AIDA (AI-driven Agriculture: Opportunities and Challenges)
December 8-11, Macau SAR, China
Workshop style: Full online
DESCRIPTION
Agriculture is essential for every nation's economic sector and is surely one of the industries that involves more risks. In addition, worldwide the urbanization is continuing and the need for food is increasing as the global population is growing on a daily basis. In this scenario, the farmers' traditional techniques are unable to meet the demand and urgent is the needs of efficient novel automation/reasoning approaches and tools supporting agriculture.
Big data (BD) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) synergically support the agriculture domain. More specifically, AI uses a vast amount of data to learn from and enhance decision-making in the and Big data analytics uses AI for better data analysis. AI and BD have emerged as the most significant technological advancements and are revolutionizing the agriculture industry as they use processes and technologies to combine and analyse massive datasets to provide insights and useful patterns. The final goal is help farmers to optimize crop yields and reduce waste by analyzing data from sensors, drones, and other sources to identify patterns and make predictions: AI can be used to predict weather patterns, soil moisture levels, and pest infestations, and to optimize irrigation and fertilizer use.
Grand View Research valued the global AI in agriculture market size at USD 600.5 million in 2020 and it is expected to grow of 25.7% from 2021 to 2028. Precision agriculture, which uses AI and other technologies to optimize crop yields and reduce waste, is expected to be a key driver of the AI in agriculture market with a market size expected to reach USD 12.9 billion by 2027. AI and other digital technologies have the potential to transform smallholder agriculture by improving productivity, reducing costs, increasing resilience to climate change and ensuring compliance with food safety regulations.
AIDA provides an interdisciplinary venue for the community to promote collaborations and exchanges ideas, practices and advances specific to artificial intelligence in agriculture. The goal is to bring people in the field cross-cutting information management, artificial intelligence and agriculture informatics to discuss innovative data management and analytics technologies highlighting end-to-end applications, systems, and methods to address problems in agriculture. The workshop solicits empirical, experimental, methodological, and theoretical research reporting original and unpublished results on topics in the realm of AI in agriculture, food and bio-system engineering and related areas, such as the need for data standardization and privacy concerns along with applications to real situations.
