The Role of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Advancing Agroforestry Systems: A Review | Chapter 11 | New Horizons of Science, Technology and Culture Vol. 4

 

Agriculture plays a crucial role in human survival as a primary source of food, alongside other sources. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence is constantly transforming the present age of agroforestry. It holds significant potential to enhance the sustainability of the agricultural industry through various applications. This review explores about use of artificial intelligence techniques for agroforestry. Agroforestry is an intensive and interactive land usage strategy that maximises biotic and abiotic resources by deliberately combining trees and/or shrubs with crops and/or animals in temporal and spatial patterns on the same plot of land. Agroforestry is a self-sustaining, green and smart technology that will transform the future of Indian agriculture. Artificial intelligence is a powerful technology that encompasses computers and machines to simulate the intelligence of humans to solve specific problems on the basis of logical reasoning and fast experience. AI-powered agroforestry plays a critical role in data collecting, processing, assessment, interpretation, knowledge acquisition, and solution provision to improve overall production and efficiency. It is essential to understand the complexity of the Agroforestry system, cropping patterns, succession, stratification, productivity and biodiversity on the land. However, a larger workforce is required to increase the farm productivity which also enables employment opportunities and smart work in a reconnection with nature. Thus, AI-enabled solutions are extremely valuable in crop cultivation, risk management, crop management, crop protection, crop advice, soil and crop health monitoring and management, crop feeding, automated irrigation, autonomous crop harvesting, crop grading, and even marketing. It will transform contemporary agroforestry methods by enhancing efficiency through accurate real-time monitoring and projections of increased food yields. Thus, the combination of AI, robotics, machine learning, and ancestral knowledge is the path to a transformational technological period that will renew agriculture and agroforestry throughout the world by encompassing varied crops and livestock species. This is also known as Smart Farming, Green Farming, Modern Farming, or Technical Farming. AI systems should be developed and deployed with consideration for local communities, indigenous knowledge, and historically marginalised groups. A sound theoretical framework is a useful basis for guiding the development of specific technical applications of artificial intelligence.

Cloud Computing and Its Features: An Advanced Approach | Chapter 3 | Recent Advances in Mathematical Research and Computer Science Vol. 3

 Cloud computing is a method of storing and managing data on remote computers that makes use of the internet. They can be categorised as public cloud (owned and operated by a third-party cloud service provider), private cloud (owned and operated by a third-party cloud service provider), or hybrid cloud (owned and operated by a third-party cloud service provider). Hybrid cloud combines public and private clouds, bound together to allow data and applications to be shared between them. Private cloud – It refers to computing resources used exclusively by a single business or organisation, and Hybrid cloud – It refers to computing resources used exclusively by a single business or organisation. Cloud Computing has a few uses that are discussed.

Determination of Technological Advancement in the Era of COVID-19 | Chapter 13 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

Globally, regional and municipal governments are working feverishly to find appropriate solutions to the COVID-19 situation. During this time, the government has had to ensure that all technology resources are used to combat the pandemic and address a wide range of COVID-19-related issues. The purpose of this study is to analyse the application of technical means and technological improvement in many areas as a result of the COVID-19 issue. How the government and health groups have implemented new policies to try to stop the spread of the coronavirus will be discussed. Lockdowns and social distancing measures, for example, have resulted in technical innovation and new ways of interacting with the government, corporations, and individuals as a result of these new regulations. Increased online shopping, robotic delivery systems, the advent of digital and contactless payment systems, remote working, the importance of technology in distant learning, Telehealth, 3D printing, and online entertainment are just a few examples of these changes. These technology breakthroughs have been welcomed by a few countries around the world throughout this epidemic, with certain limitations in some impoverished and developing countries.
