From precision agriculture to AI: How can modern technologies simultaneously improve agricultural yields and land use efficiency?
This article summarizes the core evidence from the *Frontiers in Plant Science* review on modern agricultural technologies: the potential of precision agriculture, biotechnology, smart irrigation, automation, vertical farming, and AI in improving productivity and land-use efficiency, as well as the current major barriers in cost, skills, and regulation. The review suggests that, through policy support and public–private cooperation, agricultural technology is expected to play a more critical role in achieving global food security and climate resilience goals.
A 2025 systematic review shows that precision agriculture can increase yields by 20%-30%, vertical farming can save approximately 95% of land and water, and AI has an accuracy rate of over 90% in agricultural decision-making. Can modern technology ultimately translate into global food security?
The global AI in agriculture market is projected to reach $28.6 billion by 2034, as precision agriculture, smart agriculture, and digital agriculture are reshaping farming practices. This article examines the application prospects, driving factors, and long-term impact of AI in agriculture from an industry perspective.
According to the latest report from Precedence Research, the global smart agriculture market is expected to grow from $29.48 billion in 2026 to $81.49 billion by 2035, at a compound annual growth rate of 11.99%. AI, the Internet of Things, and precision agriculture technologies are reshaping global agricultural production methods.
The global smart agriculture market is expected to grow from $20.05 billion in 2025 to $46.89 billion in 2034, at a compound annual growth rate of 9.9%. This article provides an in-depth analysis of market drivers, industry impacts, and long-term trends.
This article is based on a review from Frontiers journals, analyzing the profound impacts of modern technologies such as precision agriculture, biotechnology, and vertical farming on agricultural production efficiency and sustainable land use.
