Can Artificial Intelligence help feed the world while empowering the millions of smallholder farmers who produce most of our food?

Smart Farming: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Food Security explores one of the most important questions of the 21st century: how emerging technologies can transform agriculture and strengthen food security in low- and middle-income countries.

As climate change, population growth, water scarcity, declining soil health, and market inefficiencies place unprecedented pressure on global food systems, this book provides a practical and inspiring roadmap for how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can become a powerful force for agricultural transformation.

Drawing on real-world examples from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the book demonstrates how AI-powered tools—including machine learning, drones, satellite technologies, predictive analytics, digital twins, precision agriculture, and smart irrigation systems—are helping farmers make better decisions, improve productivity, reduce losses, strengthen market access, and build resilience against climate shocks.

Unlike many technology-focused publications, Smart Farming places people at the centre of innovation. It highlights how AI can complement rather than replace traditional farming knowledge, ensuring that technological advancement remains inclusive, ethical, and accessible to smallholder farmers, women, youth, and vulnerable communities.

Whether you are a policymaker, researcher, development practitioner, agricultural entrepreneur, student, investor, or farmer, this book offers valuable insights into the future of food production and the role of AI in creating sustainable agricultural systems.

This book reveals how AI can become a practical development tool for combating hunger, poverty, climate vulnerability, and agricultural inequality.

Rather than focusing solely on technology, Smart Farming demonstrates how AI can bridge the gap between traditional agricultural wisdom and modern digital innovation to create food systems that are:

  • More productive
  • More climate-resilient
  • More inclusive
  • More sustainable
  • More profitable for smallholder farmers

The book presents AI not as a luxury for large commercial farms, but as an accessible solution capable of transforming the livelihoods of millions of farmers across developing countries.
